Absolute Waterfront 1900's Heritage Cottage on Bruny Island!

This stunning 1900's historic cottage provides a magical, private and restful retreat where you can enjoy absolute waterfront with all the comforts of a restored, modern home inside! 'Questa' offers an indoor log fireplace, Starlink WiFi, BBQ, laundry, private beach, piano, heat pump and a wraparound Tassie oak deck to take your meals outdoors. This is your romantic weekend escape or somewhere to celebrate a special occasion. Wander, explore, eat and soak in the tranquility at Questa Cottage!

'Questa' cottage is a historic 'gem' and has been restored and updated to modern standards, in keeping with its nostalgic original character. There's even a gorgeous piano in the lounge-room! This is the perfect home or getaway for a family or a group of friends!

This comfortable two-bedroom home has an open plan living/dining with large quality double-glazed doors that bring the outside in and extend entertaining areas to a generous cleverly crafted deck. The Tasmanian Oak decking wraps the cottage perfectly to appreciate the natural surroundings and constant changing moods across the water.

The Master bedroom with a sea view houses a queen bed with a Koala mattress and an amazing 1800's patchwork quilt! The second bedroom offers a comfortable double bed. Please note, the bedrooms do not have curtains so please bring eye masks if you need them.

The bathroom is clean and tidy and offers a shower, bath and toilet.

A feeling of relaxation resonates throughout the cottage and gardens, whether soaking up the views from the bath or feeling as if your bed is over the water while enjoying the sunsets. The care and love in the restoration and extension work is apparent in the warmth and comfort experienced while in the home. This treasure is a work of wonderful old-world charm with thoughtful design and enjoys all modern conveniences.

A skylight floods the kitchen with natural light, and this bright centre includes quality appliances with a Siemens induction cooktop and Smeg electric oven, there is a two-drawer dishwasher, built in microwave and smart concealed washing machine. This happy engine room extends to a glorious sunroom and on further to a lovely potting room.

The original part of the cottage has two classic fireplaces with mantlepieces and wonderful 3.2metre high ceilings. The ceiling in the master bedroom boasts original pressed metal and throughout the home is Tasmanian Oak flooring that consistently flows onto the decking.

A considered combination of double glazing, full insulation, and reverse cycle air-conditioning together with the ambience of a large and efficient wood-fire heater keep all within cosy throughout the cooler seasons.

Satellite Wi-Fi provides excellent internet reception and a 3.8kw solar system consisting of twelve solar panels has a 5kw inverter with a 9.8kw battery.

As well as being an idyllic place to call home, the diverse range of natural landscapes on Bruny Island, including rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, eucalyptus forests, and wetlands draw many thousands of tourists and it's a popular holidaying destination. It is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including many species of birds, seals, and penguins.

The property's serene location is ideally ten minutes from the welcoming seaside village of Dennes Point and less than a fifteen-minute drive to the ferry terminal at Roberts Point!

PLEASE NOTE: As the property is absolute waterfront and also houses two dams, it is necessary that any children in your care are supervised at all times.

A relaxing stay
A charming property sitting by waterfronts with magical views from dawn to dusk. Facing the beach and rowing on the machine felt like rowing to the sea. Lots of widlife to watch. A great reception of WIFI with 5G was definitely a bonus! We enjoyed our stay in this cottage very much. Thank you for your hospitality.
