We first stayed at Richard's Red Gate Cottage in 2018, and we've been dreaming of it ever since.
The cottage is in the most idyllic spot where you can fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves and wake up to stunning sunrises over the bay. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking, and the fireplace made the whole place cosy on cold August nights, but we were also glad to find electric blankets and additional heaters on the extra-chilly nights!
Dennes Point is a great spot to stay if you're looking for a quiet retreat in the off-season. It felt like we had the whole top end of Bruny Island to ourselves, including the gorgeous beach just steps from the cottage. It's an easy (and stunning) drive from Dennes Point to great Bruny attractions like the Cheese Company, the Neck lookout and great walking tracks, but you could also spend all day reading by the fire and listening to the gentle waves outside.
Even though we stayed for longer this time, it still wasn't long enough! We would love to visit again soon.
