Excellent spot! We appreciated the power on site. Really enjoyed the fact that it is just one private space. Nice bird life. It would be tight for a big rig to get into.

If you want the full experience, take a right at the gate and drive up the hill past another gate (it’s open) to the top of the hill. Absolutely stunning views and the best spot! Sunset and sunrise are gorgeous. Thank you, Annette for sharing your beautiful property. I hope to be back soon!

Roger’s place has been fantastic. The block is sheer wilderness—rugged nature at its best, surrounded by chirping birds, wallabies hopping through the landscape, and an open fire crackling beneath a sky full of stars. Pure serenity.

Off the beaten track, yet in a strategic position as a stop during Tasmania adventures! Host was welcoming made our stay very straightforward. Great landscape, made only better by a couple of friendly horses grazing nearby. Our favourite bit was the peaceful morning sunrise. Would stay again for sure!

Awesome camp spot. Peaceful, private and quiet which is rare to find on Bruny. Roger was incredibly generous with firewood and the site was level, well maintained and absolutely beautiful. The native Birdlife is stunning and will definitely be back.
