Luxe Coastal Retreat on Bruny Island
Experience island living at its finest in this spacious and luxurious retreat on beautiful Bruny Island. Mabel’s Lookout has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, privacy, and indulgence, blending contemporary style with the island’s natural serenity. With breathtaking views across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and located just six minutes from the ferry terminal, the property is ideally positioned for exploring both North and South Bruny Island — or simply unwinding and letting the world drift by.
Mabel’s Lookout is an idyllic setting for relaxed holiday breaks with family and friends, as well as romantic weekends, intimate elopements, and unforgettable proposals. The sense of seclusion, sweeping water views, and thoughtfully designed spaces create a welcoming atmosphere for both shared time and quiet moments. Whether you’re gathering loved ones for a memorable getaway, planning a peaceful escape for two, or celebrating a special occasion with the channel as your backdrop, this is a place where lasting memories are made.
Inside, expansive living areas and beautifully appointed bedrooms create a sense of calm and space throughout the home. Trundle beds allow for additional guests, making Mabel’s Lookout perfectly suited to families, small groups of friends, or couples seeking a quiet romantic escape. All beds are dressed in premium, top-quality linen for a truly restful stay.
The stunning chef’s kitchen is a dream for food lovers, fully equipped with premium appliances, a wine fridge, and your choice of coffee experiences. Enjoy an automatic espresso machine with quality beans provided, or a Nespresso machine with a selection of pods, including decaf. Breakfast supplies are included for your convenience.
Relax indoors by the cosy fireplace or enjoy year-round comfort with two reverse-cycle heat pumps. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, making it easy to stay connected — whether you’re working remotely, streaming, or simply sharing your Bruny Island moments with loved ones.
Outdoors, the property truly shines with an exceptional undercover deck ideal for alfresco dining, complemented by a fabulous fire pit for relaxed evenings beneath the stars.
Unwind in the traditional sauna while taking in sweeping channel views, or embrace the elements in the outdoor bath and shower — perfect for a refreshing cold plunge or a warm soak under the night sky. As the property relies on tank water, we kindly ask guests to be water-wise, particularly when enjoying the baths, to help ensure a comfortable stay for all. A nearby walk leads to one of Bruny Island’s magnificent sea eagle nesting sites, offering a rare and memorable glimpse of the island’s wild beauty.
Pet-friendly and fully fenced, Mabel’s Lookout welcomes well-behaved dogs. To ensure the comfort of all guests, pets are not permitted on furniture or beds and must not be left unattended inside the house at any time. While the grounds are fully fenced, owners are responsible for their dogs and we cannot accept liability should a pet escape. Guests may be liable for additional costs if damage occurs or if extra cleaning is required. We kindly ask that owners practice responsible pet care, including cleaning up after their dogs, to help preserve the home and its natural surroundings for future guests.
For longer stays, guests have access to a washing machine and dryer, making it easy to travel light and settle in comfortably.
Enhance your stay with optional luxuries, including the opportunity to book a private chef to prepare a romantic dinner or smorgasbord showcasing Bruny Island’s exceptional local produce, or pre-order a gourmet hamper or platter to await your arrival. Hamperlicious offers Mabel's guests a 10% discount for platters and hampers. Use the code Mabels10%
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Nuenonne people, the Traditional Custodians of Lunawanna-alonnah (Bruny Island), who have cared for this land for over 40,000 years — one of the world’s oldest continuing cultures.
This is a stay unlike any other — a chance to unwind, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the beauty, history, and tranquillity of Bruny Island. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape, planning an elopement, or gathering with family or friends, Mabel’s Lookout is the perfect destination.
