About this property

Sunset Bay Escape- A spectacular place to unwind with a loved one or friends


Sunset Bay Escape is a unique Bruny Island holiday stay. It is a much loved luxury holiday house. With uninterrupted, panoramic coastal views & the most spectacular sunsets this beautiful house is a delight. A perfect base for couples, families, friends & groups for your next Island holiday. The house sleeps 6 people. Swim , fish, kayak less then 200 metres from the house. Situated on the aptly named 'Sunset Bay' this superbly designed & tastefully decorated house is the perfect base to explore.
The house has been professionally designed and built to breathe in the glorious sea and mountain views. The huge glass facade acts as a canvas to the Hartz Mountains, Sunset Bay and Satellite Island. The house has been designed to bring the outside in. The glass wall has a variety of opening doors to ensure you really enjoy the inside and outside flow. Over the past 12 months we have replaced the fridge, a new BBQ, smart TV, solar HWU, outdoor furniture and replaced the decking front & back with beautiful
merbeau hardwood decking. We have also upgraded the air conditioning with new units installed in bedrooms 1 & 2 as well as a new unit in the main living area!

The house is a real entertainers delight. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms are all tastefully furnished and the queen size beds are of high quality. The hotel quality linen ensures for a beautiful nights sleep.

The master bedroom alone is 37 square metres in size and has a flat screen TV, luxury ensuite, chaise lounge.

The main living areas have both reverse cycle heating and cooling and a large wood fire. The kitchen is equipped with a beautiful Ariston 6 burner gas oven, dishwasher, microwave, stone benchtops and quality kitchen wear. The kitchen is fully stocked to accommodate for our guests who love to cook. With the wonderful variety of Tasmanian produce at your disposal it really is a pleasure to utilise the kitchen facilities.

Leather recliners in the living area are beautifully comfortable and a real treat when wanting to lie back, relax and watch a DVD, TV or listen to music. The DVD and CD collection is very substantial. There is also a variety of books, including cook books to choose from. The TV room is equipped with ceiling speakers to take advantage of playing music and appreciating the great acoustics.

The house has a huge sun deck that takes full advantage of the uninterrupted panoramic sea and mountain views. A great place to spot black cockatoos, wallabies, sea eagles, parrots. Enjoy a barbeque on the deck or lie back on the sun lounges or dine on the outdoor dining table. There is also a large deck at the front of the house, equipped with table and chairs to enjoy the morning sunshine.

Outstanding as ever

This is the nicest holiday home on the island. Beautiful views, everything you could possibly need in the house and close to the pub and cafe at the end of the street. Outstanding as ever as we stayed here 10 years ago and was not disappointed with the home, location, and responsiveness of the owner. No wonder it’s booked solid!

Perfect house for 3 couples on Bruny

The location of the house is excellent as you can easily do day trips to the north and south of the Island and to Adventure Bay. It is a few minutes walk to Hotel Bruny which has fantastic meals. The house has a wonderful view looking back to the mainland and of Satellite Island with a deck at the front and back of the house which is perfect to avoid the wind depending on the direction. Both decks have outdoor table and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked and the furnishings very comfortable. We had a group of 3 couples and the house was perfect as each had their own bathroom. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. It was a perfect house to stay while exploring the island.

Alonnah

Alonnah is one of the best Bruny Island beaches to walk along. The house is large , as dramatic as in the photos and generously stocked with pantry basics. The front deck was superb! Hotel Bruny is a great local, and don’t miss Issy’s Bar (about 4km away).

Awesome Stay

An excellent view, great location and property. A wonderful place to stay for families, friends and to include whatever age. The only things to let the owner know was that the accomodation could benefit with screen doors, on front and back and a power point in the bathroom of the bedroom, front right side facing the ocean.

Sunset Bay

Sunset Bay was a dream - the view from this house was exceptional to the point that we only ever reluctantly left the house. The kids thought it was “the best house ever”. Location was amazing either with an easy stroll to dinner at Bruny Island hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Bruny Island - Alonnah

This property is incredibly comfortable and spacious. Although there is space in between, including a quiet road, the full glass doors looking over to the bay and islands make a wonderful outlook. it was especially nice when the rain was beating down and the winds were blowing to stay inside in the warmth and watch the beautiful waterscape.

Great place

We stayed as a group of 3 couples and loved the place. It has amazing views, warm fire with plenty of wood and a well equipped kitchen. Just a short stroll to the pub and beach, it is a great base for a few days on beautiful Bruny Island. A special thanks to the host Mark for being so understanding (unlike some other hosts) about Covid related delays in 2020 and 2021. We are so glad we finally got there.

Just incredible

Stayed 2 nights with my partner, and it was just incredible. Spectacular sunsets, wildlife, location, it was everything we could have wanted. We love to cook, so we made use of the full kitchen and pantry. Excellent communication from Mark, helping to make the stay extra special. Thank you!

Beautiful location Superb accommodation

This is a spectacular property and setting. Views for miles and glorious sunsets to be admired from the huge deck, or sit costed up with the wood fire. As advised by the owner, a definite must to stop off on the way to the house for oysters, cheeses and bread. If you don’t feel like cooking in the well appointed kitchen with thoughtful pantry extras available, the Pub is around the corner with a menu that’s varied and delicious. Loved staying on the west side of S. Bruny; quiet but easy drives to rest of the island. THANKYOU for a wonderful stay.

Great location, amazing views, top facilities.

We loved our stay here. It was ideal for our family group with loads of space and separate bathrooms for each bedroom. The views are superb and no matter the weather, just looking out at the ever changing vista was entertainment in itself. With decks front and rear it was possible to always be reasonably out of the breeze. The kitchen is fully equipped and the walk in pantry even had some basic supplies in case you have forgotten anything. Sunset Bay Escape is an ideal base for exploring all that South Bruny has to offer, which is a great deal.

What a view

First time on Bruny and chose this place as it looked great and next to the pub. As soon as we opened the front door we were in awe by the view. 2 bedrooms and the whole living area have the same spectacular view. We only used main bedroom and the bed was super comfy. Took a while to get the house heated up but thats the price you pay for floor to ceiling views. If we get back to bruny we will def stay again

Lovely stay in convenient location

Great house with amazing views, with a well equiped kitchen and some toys for the kids. The house was just a 5 minute walk to the general store, Hotel Bruny, liquor store and a calm beach, which my children visited daily. It did get very hot in the afternoons, especially if the blinds were left open, but this is just the consequence of one entire side of the house being walked in glass! Every room had an Airconditioning unit though. Our host, Mark, was very responsive to all queries and easy to contact. Thanks again for a great stay.

Mark & Jen live on the Central Coast of NSW.
We have travelled to Tasmania quite a few times over the years and fell in love with Tasmania, especially Bruny Island, with great walks, the Cheese factory, local winery , the view from the Neck lookout just to name a few.This house has been rented out as holiday accommodation since it was built back in 2010.
It has had very impressive reviews from guests staying since 2010. Unfortunately we have too start fresh, so come on and stay at Sunset Bay Escape and experience the location & beauty of this house!

Why they chose this property

This house has been rented out as holiday accommodation since it was built back in 2010.
It has had very impressive reviews from guests staying since 2010. Unfortunately we have too start fresh, so come on and stay at Sunset Bay Escape and experience the location & beauty of this house!
My wife saw this house for sale, could not believe the stunning views from the lounge room and the bedrooms. As well as the modern design of the house. We both know you will be just as impressed with our house as we are.

What makes this property unique

Our house is only 200m from the Bruny Pub, there is a great walkway around the foreshore, the local winery is only 2 klm away, but the sunsets from the balcony of our house are spectacular, the view ever changing as the sun sets!
