"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.

Mountain River is a rural valley under the kunanyi/Wellington Range, in the Huon Valley, just half an hour from Hobart. Mountain River itself is a small river flowing from the back of kunanyi and joining the Huon River near Huonville. There are swimming holes in the river for the brave… it’s very cold!
Campsites are located on the riverbank, near the home or further afield.
Caravans and large Motorhomes cannot be accommodated. Rental vans - Apollo /Maui etc, are fine.

Our group found Rachel’s private camp spot just perfect for recharging our low social batteries over Easter. We arrived to a peaceful, tidy well set out camp site with, clean drop toilet, plenty of comfortable seating, tables, a safe wood fire to keep us warm and cosy and a hobbit hut to get out of the rain and wind should we need it.
Waking up to the birds and gentle rustling of sun soaked leaves was just what the doctor ordered. The Woodlander is a tranquil private campsite, it feels miles away from everything but not too far from amenities should they be required.
Thank you for having us Rachel, and the additional delivery of wood on Saturday. We all loved this camp spot and super keen to stay again 💜

The walk to the beautiful beach was quick and easy! The property is very well positioned to access different areas of the island. Being dog friendly was another added bonus!
