"Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land. This is your perfect lunawuni/Bruny Island escape! It is tucked away from the no-through gravel road and surrounded by Australian bush and wildlife with filtered water views of D'Entrecasteaux Channel and 100 m from the beach. It's a tranquil heaven yet so close to all the famous Bruny sites and must dos: Bruny oysters, beer and cheese (why not bring some to the campsite to enjoy?) The Neck, Truganini Lookout + penguins! Cape Queen Elizabeth Track and other hiking trails Adventure Bay and *white wallabies (*we give you a map on where to go to find the white wallabies!!) South Bruny, and the Light house When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course. As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite! Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots. To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her. The campsite is a perfect spot to see wildlife, and birds, and for photography. On the campsite is a large outdoor kitchen with two sinks. Wait... is there a bathtub? Yes! The bathtub is great for a bush shower (byo solar shower) as the taps are not connected. You must bring your own toilet. Rainwater is available too, we have two tanks! Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species. We love the quolls and know you will too so please do not disturb their homes. The site is excellent for stargazing once nightfall arrives. Simply BYO a hammock (we have prepared the setup!) and lie down to watch the stars with a glass of red or a hot chocolate. We recommend campervans for the site and it's only suited to self-contained campers leaving no trace behind. Available on-site and free to use are also a director's chair and a table. The kitchen is also equipped with a double sink, dish rack, two buckets, BBQ tools, cutlery, and a dustpan. There is also a cleaning kit with biodegradable spray, hand sanitizer, and soap. There are also a set of caravan/van leveling ramps and chocks for you to freely use. The site is perfect for those wishing to find privacy amongst an otherwise busy Island. Escape the tourists and experience Bruny Island like a local. Questions? Please reach out!

Barrenjoey Farm is a large 30-acre private estate in the heart of historic Richmond, just 20 minutes from Hobart’s CBD. We’re located metres from town, the local caravan park, and some of Tasmania’s best vineyards. Hobart Airport is just ten minutes away. Our farmstay is the ideal base to explore Hobart, the Tasman Peninsula, and the gateway to Freycinet. With secure pin-code gated entry, you can choose from a variety of sites in the back paddock or a powered site near our equestrian arena. The property offers great access for all vehicle types but all setups must be self-contained as there are no onsite facilities. You’re welcome to interact with our sweet alpaca family and our two Swiss Blacknose sheep Shawn and Timmy (a breed known as the cutest sheep in the world!). Well-behaved pets are welcome but must be secured at all times to protect our farm animals. The closest water and dump points are just ten minutes away in Sorell and Cambridge. Our farm is perfect for families and travelers seeking a peaceful escape from the crowds and noise of busy caravan parks. ........... About Us: We’ve made a home at Barrenjoey Farm, along with our four wild and wonderful kids. The farm is built on land cared for by the Palawa people for tens of thousands of years. A place to exist in tune with the seasons, grow food, raise animals, and let the kids run barefoot. We love sharing Barrenjoey Farm with others … especially people from the city who come here and remember what it’s like to slow down. For more pics follow us on IG: @barrenjoeyfarm.

Eeyore’s Campsite was the perfect tranquil spot to celebrate our Christmas 2025. It was wild weather but the terrain and adjacent forest protected us very well from the strong winds. We loved seeing the many furry critters busily mowing the grass and our friendly welcoming hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. We would highly recommend this HipCamp to anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful spot nestled in a lovely natural setting.

Very peaceful and private space, lots of wildlife and a wonderful beach walk across the road from the camp. Fantastic for well behaved dogs. Camp Kitchen was spacious and well protected from wind and rain. Linda went above and beyond in hosting us and great communication. The firewood provided was dry and plentiful.

The site was exactly as described and was what we needed for our 5 nights away for a quick get away with the kids. We would absolutely recommend this site and would look to return again for another stay. Thanks again to Grant and the family for making us welcome and providing a great spot for us to stay.

6 nights at Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping
Nice quite bush block. Lots of friendly quolls, bandicoots, wallabies and birds sharing our camp site. We where there on a busy weekend (Anzac day long weekend) so it was nice to be at our own private camp-site (as the all the popular attractions on the island where packed!) We had no problems setting up our 22ft caravan on the levelled caravan site provided. Yes it is a wee bit tight getting in and out but we had no issues with this. Its only a short walk to Apollo Bay from the camp, which has a nice little beach area, seating and camp fire BBQ which we also had to ourselves for the week. Lindas communication was excellent. I highly recommend for anyone who preferes there own space (vs a busy caravan park)

Quoll hideaway was fantastic. A highlight of our trip as the quolls came out to play! It was so great sitting and watching them. We were also visited by a potoroo, which was very cute. The camp kitchen works really well and provides a great spot to sit and wait for the animals to emerge. It was easy to find and close to the beach. We also had some fabulous oysters which we sat and enjoyed on the camp kitchen. Thanks so much Linda hopefully we will be back!

Beautiful location and abundant with wildlife. Linda’s comms we’re quick and super helpful! I set up a hammock and watched the wallabies bounce by. A little pottaroo joins us for a bit, bloody adorable! And then we saw some quolls. One main one having a little sticky at the camp. Amazing to see though very shy and skittish. So glad we got to see wild quolls. Also, the ocean/lake beach is super close and also incredibly stunning. Highly recommend!
