Welcome to the beautiful east coast of Bruny Island, where contentment and connection awaits.
From The Joneses, a mid century style home originally built by Mr L Jones and reimagined in 2023 to become a luxurious escape for couples or solo travellers, you will have uninterrupted views of the azure waters of Adventure Bay and across to Penguin Island and Fluted Cape.

The space
Whilst maintaining its “Beachcomber” style of architecture on the exterior, The Joneses interiors have been reinvigorated and redesigned to provide a sense of luxury in line with modern day living. However, we have maintained its original ethos, that being a place to escape the ordinary, to reconnect with your surroundings and each other and to remind yourself of simple joys and slower ways of living.

Be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves crashing 30m from your king size, linen wrapped bed. Or stare through the picture windows and watch beautiful sunrises or moonbeams light up the bay.

Watch the light shift and the ocean change colour on an hourly basis from our spacious and comfy lounge, or choose a Netflix movie to snuggle up and watch on The Frame TV.

Take a dip in the crystal clear waters across the road and rinse off in one of our two luxuriously appointed bathrooms. One is conveniently located on the ground floor for sandy bodies and the other is a mere step from your bed. Your ensuite bathroom has a huge walk in wet area with double shower rails, a custom Oak vanity, spacious dressing area, soft LED lighting and feature Citta pendants. There are also seperate powder rooms on both levels for your convenience.

Once refreshed and rejuvenated from your swim or walk, you can choose to cook some local fare that Bruny is renowned for, in our generously sized kitchen and seperate Butlers pantry. We provide Smeg appliances to enjoy all manner of teas and coffees, basic pantry staples such as oil, herbs, spices and some treats for you to enjoy. We also have a cracker of an Everdure bbq on the deck, complete with a view!

If the weather has been diverse, we also have a fully equipped laundry for you to use, complete with “Dirt” brand eco products for your convenience.

Outside, our professionally designed and planted garden and fire pit area has been crafted with care, both to attract some of the 96 species of birds that Bruny provides shelter to, along with native insects and bees that are so important to life. And of course for you to enjoy! Wander around and enjoy grasses blowing, swing in the hanging chair and read, or sit by the fire pit and gaze at the star filled velvet night sky. You may even see an Aurora!

Guest access
You will have the whole house and garden to yourself.

Other things to note
The Joneses is a dual level home with an open tread staircase, therefore unsuitable for those with physical or mobility impairments. This also makes it highly unsuitable for those with toddlers, babies or fur babies of any kind.
We respectfully request you give yourself permission to share and enjoy the space for two adults ONLY.

Please also be aware that whilst our bountiful island produces amazing food, it’s best to be prepared for longer stays and grab your yummy treats from Hobart, Kingston, or Snug before you catch the ferry.

Or truly experience all Bruny Island can provide and have a hamper delivered before or during your stay from Hamperlicious on Bruny. Peruse the extensive hamper menu online, from breakfast hampers through to grazing platters and enjoy the local fare from the comfort of home. No energy required!

Neighborhood highlights

Bruny Island is diverse, both in landscape, climate and activities. It’s also a large island, so we recommend you give yourself ample time to explore!

Adventure Bay is located on the East coast of South Bruny and is the only ocean facing village. That means white sandy stretches and clear water. The Joneses is situated directly opposite Adventure Bay beach, which means a mere few steps and you are on that white sand! Voted number 5 of Australia's best beaches of 2023, you also look towards Quiet Corner, a beautiful sheltered and calm spot to swim, snorkel or even fish off and one of the most popular spots on Bruny. Adventure Bay also has the only petrol station on island, which is conveniently located next to Adventure Bay general store ( think more really well stocked IGA than small island store! ). It also has a Tesla charging port for those in need. This is all 300m from The Joneses. Far enough away to not disturb you, but so convenient to grab anything you may need.. including a set of flippers!

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys are also located in Adventure Bay and provide 3hr Wilderness cruises year round. This takes you around the coastline of Sth Bruny National Park and is highly recommended.! They also have an on site restaurant with lunches, drinks and snacks available.

Mari Bruny restaurant is also located near The Joneses and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again, we are spoilt here in Adventure Bay. Please check for seasonal opening days and times.

Have a game of bowls and a drink at the Adventure Bay Bowls Club or book in for dinner on Friday or Saturday nights at Bruny Dine, also part of the Bowls Club.

For the more energetic travellers there are many listed walks in our neighbourhood. Try Mavista nature walk for the less experienced or Mt Mangana.. the highest peak on Bruny and a beautiful intro to our flora. We also have the stunning Fluted Cape walk in Adventure Bay for the more experienced and adventurous. Well worth the effort though!

There are many stunning beaches to explore here. You will see Hanssons beach as you approach. Feel your jaw drop as you approach Adventure Bay village and imagine strolling there during your stay. Further afield on South Bruny is Cloudy Bay, a surfers paradise, Jetty beach, a secluded, calm stretch near the lighthouse and the many bays of Cape Bruny itself.

Stop in at the Bligh museum on Adventure Bay Rd and read about the European explorers who started to map these shores as early as 1642.

Or simply relax and restore mind and body. You choose..

My work: Host
I spend too much time: Looking at interiors
After many years in healthcare and discovering Bruny Island, I decided to become a host and share the beauty of this magical and healing place with others. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
