Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach camping

"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.

We have just enjoyed a wonderful week at Quoll Hideaway.
Location - perfect. Away from all the business of the Island. Very quiet and peaceful which was just what we were looking for. Lots of space with the lovely little beach just a short stroll to the beach. Recommend walking to the lookout where you will find an abundance of oysters, we ate them straight off the beach !!.
Potaroo's galore, our highlight, they were so cute greeting us each night. Quolls were shy, but we did have one come and day hello quite close.
Lots of bird life also.
If you're reading this review then do yourself a favour and book Quoll Hideaway, you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back again.

It was a quiet secluded sites that was close to amenities and a 10 minute walk from the beach. Great location to access bay of fires.
You need to be self sufficient but I would recommend for a quiet get away away from hustle and bustle of regular crowds.

Lovely and quiet, private with plenty of space to set up. Lower camp is sheltered from the wind only a short walk to the bay.
Supplied firewood is a bonus. Nothing here but nature, lots of birds, pademelons.
Im sure there are a lot of tourist things to do and see nearby but we wanted the quiet to unwind before the Xmas madness begins, worked a treat.
Thanks Judy we will be back
