Firetail Bush Retreat was a great place to stay, unwind and get away from it all. It was also a great place to explore Bruny Island and southern Tasmania from. Sonia and Damien were great hosts, very respectful of our privacy and also being open and welcoming when we contacted them.

You will need a car to get about and you do need to plan ahead a bit as Kettering doesn't exactly have a lot of shops and certainly no 7-11 and dining options are a bit limited particularly in the first half of the week. But the facilities on offer at Firetail Bush Retreat have everything you need to cook fantastic meals with the local produce you can pick up on the way down from Hobart.
