Your Gateway to Bruny Island
Bruny Island is one of Tasmania's must-visit destinations — famous for its wildlife cruises, artisan food trail, dramatic coastline, and the Neck lookout. But finding quality accommodation on the island can be challenging, especially for larger groups.
The Cottage at Flowerpot offers a smarter alternative: a luxury 4-bedroom heritage holiday house just 10 minutes' drive from the Kettering ferry terminal. Enjoy the best of Bruny Island during the day, then come home to a spacious cottage with an infrared sauna, outdoor bath, and all the comforts of a true whole-house holiday rental.
Why Stay Near Bruny Island, Not On It?
10 Minutes to the Ferry
The Kettering ferry terminal is a quick 10-minute drive. Catch the morning ferry, explore Bruny Island all day, and return to the comfort of The Cottage each evening.
Superior Accommodation
Bruny Island has limited accommodation options. Staying on the mainland means a luxury 4-bedroom heritage cottage with sauna and outdoor bath — without compromising on access.
More Dining Options
Enjoy restaurants and cafés in Kettering, Woodbridge, and Cygnet after your Bruny Island day trip, rather than the island's limited evening options.
Easy Day Trips
Use The Cottage as your base for Bruny Island and other Southern Tasmania attractions — Hartz Mountains, Tahune Airwalk, Huon Valley cellar doors, and more.
Plan Your Bruny Island Day Trip
The Bruny Island ferry departs regularly from Kettering, just a 10-minute drive from The Cottage. Most guests catch the early ferry, spend the day exploring the island's food trail, taking a wildlife cruise, or hiking to Cape Bruny Lighthouse, then return by late afternoon.
Back at The Cottage, fire up the sauna, pour a glass of Tasmanian wine, and watch the sun set over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. It's the perfect end to a day of adventure — and a far better evening than most on-island options can offer.
Book Your Bruny Island Base
