Peaceful Wylah Cottage in Simpsons Bay on Bruny

Wylah Cottage is the very last house on a dead end road, nestled at the quiet end where Bruny Island feels like it did 30 years ago—peaceful, unhurried, and deeply connected to nature. With space for up to five guests across three cosy bedrooms, Wylah offers a warm and welcoming base for your island adventures. Step onto the verandah and take in breathtaking views across Simpsons Bay, The Neck, and out toward Tasman Island. The space Centrally located, Simpsons Bay is the perfect spot to explore all corners of Bruny Island—from its rugged coastlines and walking trails to artisan food producers and quiet beaches. From the verandah enjoy The ever-changing views over the isthmus and the bay, with eagles soaring overhead, echidnas ambling by. At the right time of the year you may get a glimpse of the critically endangered swift parrots that come to Bruny every year. Nature comes right to your doorstep. You won’t even need to leave the house to catch some of the most spectacular sunrises you’ve ever seen. Wylah isn’t a polished retreat—it’s a place with soul - full of character, quirks and thoughtful touches. Full of mid-century modern furniture, cosy reading nooks, well-loved books, original art, and little treasures collected over time. The floorboards are uneven, the angles aren’t always right—but if you’re someone who values heart over high gloss, you might just fall in love. Whether you’re watching birds from the verandah, feeding the wallabies, or curling up with a book in the sun room (a guest favorite), Wylah invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and feel at home.
