Satellite Island

An island, off an island, off an island, located in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in south Tasmania.

Exclusively yours, you can choose to stay in either the three-bed Summer House or the waterside two-bedroom Boathouse. Incorporating their Norwegian ancestry into the interiors, the owners have designed the houses using Scandinavian styles, but have also managed to bring the outdoors in, with interiors that reflect the greys of the rock shelf, the blues of the pebbles on the beach and the pale hues of driftwood. Rooms are stylish with fresh grey and white tones, Finnish reindeer hides, Sisal rugs and quirky rustic ornamentation, such as a hand collected shells, antlers and eagle feathers.

A self-catering property, you’ll find the fridge and pantry fully stocked and the cupboards full of gourmet breakfast provisions. You’ll also find an endless supply of wild oysters available as well as a menu suggestion for each day of your stay.
If you want to try some Tasmanian cuisine, there’s a little boat that can take you to Bruny, where you’ll find a string of fantastic restaurants serving local wines, cheeses and its famed seafood.

Board games, fishing equipment, kayaks, snorkels, masks and flippers are all provided for.

During the daylight hours, spot the resident sheep, deer, guinea fowl and pair of rare white breasted sea eagles. Grab the fishing rods or kayak and head out on the waters between the island and Bruny or walk along the well-maintained tracks to the Look Out for afternoon tea with a spectacular view.
As the island is surrounded by an ancient rock shelf and home to an abundance of shellfish, including scallops, oysters and crayfish, spend your afternoons catching and foraging for your evening meal. Light a fire on the pebble beach and enjoy a glass of Tasmanian wine as your shuck the wild oysters you just caught and cook the scallops on the open fire.
