Poppies homely retreat

Get your Tassie shack vibes on at Poppies Retreat in Great Bay! Offering absolute waterfront, this beautiful A-frame home has been curated as a couple's getaway, for friends travelling together, or an adventure for a small family. Climb up the staircase into one of two queen beds situated in the top of the home facing each other, after spending an evening in the comfortable living room below heated with an indoor fireplace. A modern kitchen and bathroom complete this peaceful and unique home.
The space
This gorgeous retreat has a loft bedroom at the top of a steep staircase with two queen beds at the top. This is not suitable for those with mobility issues or young children. The ground floor offers open plan living with a large galley kitchen as the central hub of the house. Poppies has a stove and oven with plenty of pots, pans and dishes. There is a bar fridge in the kitchen, and a small washing machine in the bathroom.
There are two living spaces in the home - one provides a cosy space with a wonderful indoor fireplace to snuggle, make plans and chat, and the other has a beautiful view of the outdoors - a lovely spot for reading and relaxing. A smart TV with Internet access is available for use.
Please note the property has waterfront access and so water safety must be kept in mind at all times. Please see 'other details to note' for more information prior to booking this property. We look forward to hosting you!
Guest access
Guests are able to access the whole property, however there is a small studio on the property which is not for guest access. This is for storage and not for use.
Other things to note
Please be mindful of these details prior to booking for your safety;
NO EXTERNAL FIRES – these are banned in all situations due to extreme fire risk because the property is so heavily wooded and the changeable winds on the island.
FIRE MANAGEMENT PLANS are displayed inside the home, please ensure you read these instructions upon your check-in. The owner reserves the right to cancel bookings during fires on the island deemed extreme and catastrophic for your safety. Bruny Island Management will do our best to re-book you into a property under our management if this was to occur.
SEPTIC FRIENDLY BEHAVIOUR – You will be charged for fees incurred if the toilet is blocked due to products placed in the toilet that are meant for the bin. Please be mindful of this.
NO PETS – there are no fences, heaps of wildlife on the property and snakes are sometimes present during the Summer in the vicinity of the water tanks. Please do not bring your pet for their safety.
