Three days on Bruny – a local’s itinerary
As a local of 20 years I can’t believe how many people try to visit Bruny as a day trip. Here is a suggested itinerary for a 3 day trip to Bruny Island… and I still only cover half of the options! Go on book a few nights and discover Bruny like a local… Spend three days unwinding and reconnecting with each other amidst the tranquil beauty based at the shack or the hide at Sheepwash Bay.
Indulge in leisurely mornings spent lingering over breakfast in bed (including hot sourdough delivered by The Bruny Baker), followed by days filled with exploration and adventure. Whether you choose to embark on a scenic hike, enjoy a gourmet picnic on the beach, or simply savor quiet moments of togetherness, every experience is an opportunity to slow the pace and enjoy being your authentic self.
