Francis Lane Tiny Studio

This unique little bungalow is located just 500m to the white sands of Adventure Bay beach and is ideal for those looking for an affordable, peaceful stay on Bruny. Built into the landscape to take advantage of bird life, there is a balcony and a private glass shower looking out into the bush. A large Queen bed takes centre stage in this home along with ample desk space and natural light, perfect for those who enjoy creative pursuits!
The space
Francis Lane Tiny house is located in the south of Bruny Island and very close to the cruise terminal for Pennicotts.
Offering a private bush setting, this home is a walk away from the Café and local General store and is a delight for nature lovers, with sightings of albino Bennett’s wallabies a common occurrence in the mornings off the beautiful timber deck.
Inside, you will find a rustic space with a wonderful airy and light main room due to the laser roof sheets which welcomes the sun and its warmth into the home. If the sun fails to shine, there are heaters inside the home to ensure you are kept warm, and the sound of the rain on the roof is rather delightful!
*please note, there are no covers for the laser roof, so please bring some eye masks or simply enjoy*
This home is fantastic for a romantic stay for two with a comfortable Queen bed taking centre stage with netting. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven and stove top and ensures you can cook a meal whilst you are on holidays.
If you have an infant with you, a portacot is also available. Please note, there is no WiFi in this property.
The bathroom provides a unique shower experience, with one wall made of floor to ceiling glass to watch the wildlife outside! There is no WiFi in this home, instead there is ample desk space to write, draw, paint or create!
The glass doors at the rear of the cabin provide a perfect immersive experience to be close to and amongst the natural fauna and you can enjoy your morning beverage on the deck and listen to the sounds of the ocean in the distance!
Close to all that Adventure Bay offers including the Bruny Island Chocolate shop, the Raspberry Farm (seasonal), and the Mavista Nature Walk to name just a few, this is a wonderful choice for those who get a kick out of unusual architecture and rustic surrounds.
Guest access
The entire bungalow.
Other things to note
There is a laser sheet ceiling! If you like a sleep-in in the mornings, make sure you bring your eye-masks. The shower is private, but there is a glass wall that backs out to the bush. If staying with friends, ensure they are advised when you are showering so they don't wander around the back of the bungalow.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Bruny Island

Was not as clean as I would have liked. Cobwebs everywhere on the roof. Instructions on how to open and close the roof panels would be beneficial for those who don't like being woken at the crack of dawn by broad daylight at 6am. Needs a lot of maintenance and a good spring clean. Most of the Venetian blinds on the windows were damaged and the wooden chairs felt like they were going to break when you sat on them..
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024
