About this property

Welcome to a unique island getaway on Bruny Island! I have been renting Alkira out as short term accommodation for over eight years and am so delighted to share my 'home away from home' with you.

The spacious 2 bedroom holiday house is situated in Lunawanna, Bruny Island. It is a short drive to Cloudy Bay, The Lighthouse and Bruny Island Winery. Other attractions include the Bruny Island Cheese Co, The Smokehouse, The Chocolate Factory, Berry Farm, Oyster Farm, and Adventure Bay Tours. The Allonah Cafe is a great general store that's close by and we are also close to the only pub on the island!

It is situated on the quiet part of the island with a beautiful beach within walking distance from the shack. You can enjoy spectacular views of the Hartz Mountains and the D'entrecasteau channel every morning sitting out on the front deck.

The shack has two large, newly decorated bedrooms and a room off the second bedroom which has a bunk bed for extra guests/children. All linen is provided and tastfully decorated. Although we have redecorated to include homely comforts and a rustic design, ''Alkira'' still maintains that shack look and feel which is why my family love coming over to Bruny to unwind and relax.

The bright and sunny kitchen is also fully equipped (with also a coffee machine byo pods!) and there are even some cook books for inspiration. We have a woodheater in the living room which heats the whole house on those rare chilly nights. Outside there are BBQ facilities and an outdoor entertaining area with a big deck which you can enjoy. Whether you want to stay a few days or a couple of weeks you can be assured that the shack has everything you need away from home.

Even though I live in Hobart, guests are welcome to contact me anytime and there is also a book of brochures about Bruny Island for you look through. Please contact me if you would like any more information.

''Alkira'' means ''bright and sunny'' in aboriginal which we think is the perfect description for our warm and inviting Bruny Shack :)

*bookings over December/January Christmas and New Years period are minimum 4 night stays and will incur an additional cleaning fee*

What a Haven!

We had the loveliest time at Alkira. Set on a quiet road with stunning water views, the home is light, spacious, peaceful and very comfortable. The afternoon sun pours in through the front windows and, if needed, the fire is wonderful! We loved the rustic decor, the comfortable bedroom and well-equipped kitchen. Thank you, Courtney, for sharing your holiday home and communicating so well. We felt so blessed. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Great secluded shack

Loved our stay. The shack has all that’s needed for a relaxing stay. It is nicely nested in a quiet bay with a large deck facing the ocean. No luxury but very comfortable and homely. Highly recommended.

Beautiful View

We had a wonderful time with our friends from overseas making some beautiful memories. The views were spectacular and the area was peaceful and the house had everything we needed for our holiday.

Its okay

Wished it didnt rain the two days we were there. Everywhere was so muddy and we didnt get to enjoy much. We were in the cottage but it was cold and no heating otherwise it would have been more pleasant.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Dunbabin

Hi there! My name is Courtney and I live on the little island of Tasmania :) I have been an Airbnb host for eight years and absolutely love it. I work as a speech and language pathologist and specialise in language and literacy disorders. However, Airbnb has become my second job which I really enjoy and have expanded with a lovely holiday house on Bruny Island. When I'm not down at Bruny or exploring new places around Tasmania, I will scope out gigs and music festivals to go to - and often spend ridiculous amounts of money getting there! I also used to live in London and love travelling - which is how I was first introduced to Airbnb. I really enjoy meeting new people and showing them the best parts of our little island. I look forward to hearing from you and having you stay at my homely shack in Bruny Island!
