About this property

Picnic Island, Freycinet, Tasmania.

Your own private island for up to 10 people located just offshore from Coles Bay on the Freycinet Peninsula.

Fully copper clad, this stunning lodge is designed by Tasmanian architect, John Latham.

We have five double bedrooms with king size beds (which can be split into singles)

The communal "Birdhouse" is the place to congregate for a meal and to relax on the deck or by the open fire with a wall of glass cantilevered over the high water mark.

When the sun goes down the penguins and shearwaters come in. You will be amazed by the hundreds of birds arriving back to their burrows.

If sea life is more your thing you may well spot a seal, dolphin or whale just off the island. If you fish, flathead and squid are abundant as well as mussels you can pick off the rocks and abalone and sea urchins under the water.

Please note this is a wild nature experience so expect the unexpected and be prepared for the adventure retreat of a lifetime.

A stay includes us paying for your boat transport with Freycinet Adventures there and back (the island is just 800m offshore).

We will need to to talk you through the experience prior to accepting any booking request. Please contact us to discuss.

Please note that under no circumstances are pets permitted and we are strictly licensed for no more than 10 persons.

Stunning private island in one of the best parts of Tasmania on the Freycinet Peninsula
This is not just holiday accommodation, it is a totally unique and authentic experience. From arriving by water taxi to cocktails on the deck to visiting the penguin colony each night this is an experience you will never forget. Super comfy beds with crisp white linen. Good selection of reference books as well as novels and heaps of board games. Kitchen has everything you need. Just do it. If you share with a couple of families it is no more expensive than staying at Freycinet Lodge. There are 5 double bedrooms, all overwater.
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019
