About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Te Papa Rua Family Accommodation

Te Papa Rua (Our Place Two) is a fully selfcontained 3 bedroom house. Two bedrooms have queen size beds and the third bedroom has two single beds. There is also a porta cot available. The house has a heat pump and there is also a wood heater in the lounge area making it an ideal winter getaway. Tepapa Rua is fully fenced and is pet friendly as well, but they must be kept outside. There is a covered well protected carport area at the back door.

Sea Change

A perfect sea change, this kid friendly holiday home is perfect for a weekend getaway for two families or a romantic holiday for two. There are beautiful sea views with Satelite Island in the forground and the Hartz mountains in the distance.
A few minutes walk to the jetty where there are safe moorings and good fishing. The Alonnah Hotel and store is a 10 minute walk along the beach.

Things to do on your way to Alonnah

On your way to Alonnah there is the look out at the neck, well worth the effort of climbing the stairs to see the fabulous view. The neck is where you would come back to at dusk to see the little penguins coming to shore to nest. Take a torch with red plastic over the lens so that it doesnt scare them.
If you are into oysters look out for Get Shucked on your left, the sign sneaks up on you.
The cheese factory (gumboot on the sign) has free tastings. They serve platters and wine.

We both loved staying in the house which had plenty of yard for our dog to run and sniff out all the new smells. A very comfortable bed with really nice thick cotton sheets and a beautiful view to sit and have meals and just relax. Loved our stay

We loved our stay on Bruny Island and Tepapa Rua was perfect for our needs, very close to a lovely calm beach which would be ideal for kids and beautiful views from house and balcony. Overall this house and location was perfect for us.

A great base
An oldish but comfortable beach house. A good base to explore South Bruny. Everything you require for a short or longer stay. To improve stay enough milk to be supplied for first night would be nice. Driveway access to the property needs to be improved as it is very slippery for a normal car.
