Melissa's Eco lodge is awesome... It's close enough to all the sites (including Bruny Island) to make it super convenient, yet hidden away from civilisation. The studio is on a little country road that's super quiet. Melissa and her husband have done an amazing job on building this eco lodge. They run it like a B&B with extra produce available for purchase (ie wine, soaps, and much more). This adds massive convenience. We recommend food shopping in Cygnet (at the great little produce stores) and then stocking up the fridges. But don't worry about breakfast too much as egg, bacon and milk is provided.

The view is quite something. We felt immediately relaxed in this environment. The wood fire heater is really effective and the BBQ came in handy too. Laundry facilities... Couldn't ask for much more really.

If you're planning to hide out somewhere and smash a few books or meditate for a few days, this place is perfect.

There is a drop loo. I had no problem with this as there's a neat extraction fan system. But my wife wasn't too enthralled with it. This feature is easily balanced out by a beautifully big spa.
