Well-appointed and beautifully presented, ‘Wainui’, a spacious and comfortable three-bedroom dwelling, has been successfully operated as a B&B, but most recently the property has been the holiday retreat of a Hobart professional couple, who have enjoyed the separate, self-contained studio apartment as their weekend getaway, while the main house has been the island home of a resident artist.

This is an example of the versatility and flexibility of ‘Wainui’ – a new owner may consider living in the apartment while renting the house to visitors – or reversing the plan, using the main home and offering the apartment as short-term visitor accommodation.

Either option would tap into the growing number of visitors who are crossing the Channel to discover the attractions of Bruny Island and Dennes Point in particular, where an outstanding new bistro and art gallery have enhanced the ambience of the village.

The bedrooms have built-in robes, carpets and ensuites. There is a separate study that easily be adapted for use as a fourth bedroom. There is a large laundry with convenient separate entry and ‘mud-room’. From the well-appointed kitchen/dining area and the expansive open-plan living space (both with air conditioning and double-glazing for energy efficiency), glass sliders lead out to large, sun-drenched decks that run around three sides of the home. The panoramas are sensational – across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel towards Tinderbox and the Wellington Range and into North West Bay to the mountains beyond. The sunset views from ‘Wainui’ are spectacular.

Surrounding the house is an acre of well-maintained grounds, including some native bushland, a bush garden, lawns and a productive greenhouse for vegetables. A utility shed beneath offers plenty of storage space and there is parking for several cars. ‘Wainui’ is offered fully-furnished, so it’s ready to move in and enjoy over the coming summer.

As a permanent home on Bruny, a superior holiday retreat or an accommodation business with growing potential – or as a combination of these – ‘Wainui’ is a very attractive proposition for a discerning buyer of real estate on Bruny Island.
