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.

Great location, great property
We loved our stay. Plenty of room, although it's a bit dated we were happy to pay less and still get a great property, beautiful views, good sized rooms, well set up kitchen. Host was great at communicating, ringing to touch base when he heard that the area had lost power which was totally out of his control. Thoroughly recommend!

Lovely views from an older stye beach house
Overall I would stay again, but I think it would be better in the summer. Positives: Great location for exploring south Bruny Island, and handy to the local hotel for meals (we didn't use the cooking facilities). The washing machine was handy, and the shower and hot water was good. Not so positive: The property was a bit cold, even though we used the air conditioner before lighting the wood fire. Once the fire got going the heating was better, however the firebox was full of ashes from previous guests, I had to keep collecting wood from outside (which was wet), and there were only 6 matches for a 3 night stay. The area under the couch cushions hadn't been cleaned in a long while. The potholes in the driveway in front of the gate could also do with some maintenance.

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.

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
