We had a delightful 4 night stay in this little cottage, secreted away down a short dirt track - but close to southern Bruny Island's rugged beaches and coastline. With no mobile reception, the initial silence was replaced with the distant rumble of the waves pounding Cloudy Bay Beach several kms away, the wind up in the trees and the chatter of all the resident native birds - a family of territorial Superb Blue Wrens pecking insects of the windows, and restless fly catchers fluttering about oblivious to our presence. And the ever present pair of potoroos grazing the moss beds in front of the cottage or sheltering under the outdoor furniture.
Minutes down the road, endless walks along Cloudy Beach with the tracks over the headlands made all the more invigorating by the howling south westerlies blowing off the Southern Ocean.
We returned to our extremely efficient wood heater, well appointed cottage to warm up and recharge.
Having brought sea kayaks with us, and despite the weather we had a delightful paddle down Sainties Creek into Cloudy lagoon.
Embrace the mobile reception detox zone and enjoy the locals - there is plenty of reception when driving about.
Thanks Ben.
