Luxury Yurt Glamping at Littlegrove | Tasmania

Australia > Tasmania > Bruny Island

Why we like it

A yurt in an olive grove on Bruny Island, with Fluted Cape looming across the bay.

Sink into an outdoor bath under the stars, then dry off beside a crackling wood fire.

It’s tents with a serious glow-up: wool-lined walls, timber floors, and vintage finds from around the world.

Additional info

Two yurts sit on a working farm, wrapped by forest on all sides.

Each has a king bed, a skylight for stargazing in bed, a sofa by the wood fire, and double doors to a private deck with that outdoor bath.

Your own kitchen and bathroom (with a shower, too) are right next door.

There’s also an outdoor fire pit, and you’re welcome to wander the grove, dams and paddocks.

No WIFI is part of the plan, so you can properly switch off.

Getting there: Drive to Kettering and board the 40-minute ferry to Bruny Island. From there, enjoy a scenic drive to Adventure Bay.

Who we recommend it for

Couples wanting a romantic, slow-down escape. Ideal for anniversaries, honeymoons and foodies who want Bruny's oysters and cheese on the doorstep.

Bedrooms

One king bed, one skylight, zero reasons to get up early. Lie back and count stars from your pillow.
