Guest experience
Absolutely idyllic, peaceful location and home for our family. Fishing from the jetty which was within walking distance was a hit with the kids and we enjoyed relaxing in the stylish house and garden. We spotted quolls, wallabies and potteroos in the evenings. Picture perfect… Didn’t want to leave!

Really enjoyed our stay. Bruny Island is beautiful. The Cottage location is private and right beside the water as described. A lovely place to stay. Everything that would be needed was provided. Would definately recommend to stay and would stay again on another visit. Very cosy. To someone thinking of booking do note this property has no blinds on windows including bathroom. That said, the location is private. A very enjoyable stay.

Sarah's place at Barne's Bay is a beautiful cottage right on the water's edge. Very peaceful and restorative with stunning views. Check in was a breeze, communication was fast and easy. I'd definitely recommend Sarah's place.
