The Cloud Bay Villa in one of the most remote places on Bruny with incredible views across the bay and we even got snow on the distant mountains which we could see on one of the mornings. It's also close to great sights around Bruny Island.
We had very mixed feelings about this place. On one hand the view was amazing, and the house was big, with three rooms that each had a queen (which is hard to find for a group of adults travelling together). On the other hand the house felt neglected, the leather couches were old, worn and a bit sad, and the choice of furniture throughout felt quite austere. The weather there gets pretty wild, so we wanted to chill out inside much of the time, and it just all felt a little 'unfriendly'.
There was a gas heater and reverse cycle (heat pump) there, so it helped to keep us warm. Although we had some very cold weather on one day, there was sleet, which meant the bedrooms were pretty chilly for that night due to the cold winds. The kitchen is big and has lots of pots etc.
Ben was a great host, responded to our questions and quickly organised maintenance when the rain caused the hot water system outside to short out.
If you're happy with a rough and ready place with great views then this is more the place for you. We're grateful for the view and opportunity, but we wouldn't stay there again.
