Bruny Shore is an extraordinary holiday house on North Bruny Island
with stunning views across Storm Bay towards the Tasman Peninsula
and Cape Raoul. The house enjoys a secluded location perched 70
meters above Timber Beach at Bull Bay accessible by a foot
track.
The 18.5 hectare (45 acre) property has been convented to protect
the habitat of two of Tasmania’s most endangered birds: the 40
spotted pardalote and swift parrot. The abundant wildlife is a
treat. Whales are occasional visitors to Bull Bay.
The house is about an hour’s journey from Hobart including a
relaxing 15 minute ferry crossing from Kettering to Bruny Island.
Bruny Shore has been designed and built to minimise environmental
impact. It is energy efficient with optimal insulation in all
cavities. Windows and doors are all double glazed with low e glass
and argon gas.
Recycled Tasmanian timbers have been used in construction of
flooring, fixtures, beds and dining table. Timber was sourced from
wattle trees that were felled in suburban gardens for safety
reasons.
All the external doors and many of the windows were constructed from
Forest Stewardship Council certified western red cedar. External
cladding and decking are made from macrocarpa, an exotic conifer,
common as a windrow tree on farm paddocks. It was salvaged from
trees that had fallen over or were breaking up.
No pets and no smoking are permitted on the Bruny Shore
property.
