Bruny Island Long Weekend
On the edge of the Southern Ocean lies Bruny Island, a place of bountiful produce, rare wildlife, rainforest and windswept beaches.
The Bruny Island Long Weekend is a unique experience which begins with a private boat journey from Hobart. Over the next three days you will be treated to coastal walks, gourmet produce direct from the source, and luxury camp accommodation.
The secluded camp, built entirely off the grid with luxury in mind, is the perfect place to retreat after the days' adventures. Crisp sheets on king-sized beds and an outdoor shower framed by towering Eucalypts await, as do delicious, freshly prepared meals. End the day with a glass of Tasmanian wine by the roaring fire, and perhaps spot some of the local nocturnal wildlife such as Quolls, Pademelon and the rare white wallaby.
Brimming with activity, this weekend is delivered in a relaxed style that will leave you feeling restored in a way only Bruny can.
