Personalised Wildlife Tours

Inala Country Accommodation offers two self-contained cottages on a 1,500 acre conservation nature reserve on Bruny Island, Tasmania. It's the perfect retreat for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, or those wanting a taste of peaceful country living. 'Inala' is a three-bedroom cottage, and 'Nairana' is a one-bedroom spa unit. Both cottages have fully-equipped kitchen, laundry and barbecue facilities. Inala's master bedroom has a queen-size bed, the second two single beds, and the third has a single bed and a queen bed. Nairana features quality furnishings, Tasmanian timbers, and has been purpose-built to maximise bird- and wildlife-watching opportunities. The bedroom has a queen-size and single bed, and a double sofa-bed in the lounge/dining area that can be set up on request. 'Inala' is an aboriginal word for 'peaceful place'. The reserve is a haven for native flora and fauna. Over 90 species of birds, including six threatened species and all 12 Tasmanian endemics, white wallabies, echidnas, eastern quolls, and almost 40 species of native orchids, have been recorded here. Walking tracks extend throughout the reserve, including through the Jurassic Garden which comprises 750 species of plants that illustrate the biological links among continents that once formed the supercontinent Gondwana. Guided nature tours of the garden and conservation reserve are available.

Saintys Creek is a tranquil and beautiful body of water flowing through centuries-old forest and dispersing into the serene Cloudy Bay Lagoon on South Bruny Island. Saintys Creek Cottage is located on a secluded bush block, a short walk from the creek, and a million miles from the stresses of modern life. From the outside, this beautiful timber cottage looks like it may have once housed early settlers, but inside, it is timber-lined, warm and welcoming. The large living and dining space has an open fire coupled with electric heating and a clean trouble-free kitchen with comfortable furniture. Double glass doors open up to the large outdoor living deck with a step down to the attractive grassed garden area below—at dawn or dusk, you will often share the space with one of Bruny Island’s unique White Wallabies; 'regular visitors to this garden'. Sitting outside enjoying the serenity of forest life with a nice bottle of wine accompanied by exquisite local cheeses and engaging with the stunning bush surroundings is a typically mesmerising Saintys Creek Cottage experience.
