Walla Womba on Bruny Island is less than 30 minutes south of Hobart, accessed by a vehicular ferry and then a 50 minute drive that delivers you to a secluded, private oasis which offers almost total self sufficiency, peace and quiet and an astonishingly beautiful environment with almost 6 kilometres of water frontage.

The land is traversed by kilometres of tracks, where you can horse ride or bushwalk across your own private wonderland of coastal scrubland, majestic eucalypt forest, sandy beaches and foreshore. Sheltered anchorages and excellent fishing are provided at your doorstep at Mickeys Bay and Tinpot Bay. Crayfish, abalone, oysters and a smorgasbord of scalefish are in abundance.

The main home is a world acclaimed architectural statement, having been recognised with numerous architectural awards and has featured in a number of prestigious international magazines and newspaper articles. The home is sympathetic to its unique position, siting on a north facing point, it makes the most of water views and is discretely nestled into a grove of coastal eucalypts and she-oaks. Spectacular, sweeping concave rooves, native timbers throughout and a wall of glass lining the northern aspect, spacious decks and quality fixtures and fittings guarantee a home of superior comfort, style and solar efficiency. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms all featuring top quality finishes – Tasmanian myrtle, granite benchtops, polished floors and superior white goods in the gourmet kitchen ensure comfort and an unparalleled lifestyle.
The architects brief was to create something natural and environmentally aware- but architecturally remarkable the judges in awarding the 2004 ARIA national award and many other experts agree that this mission was more than accomplished.

There is a second homestead on the property, it is a rustic, warm and friendly two storey residence quite separate and private from the main home; it’s ideal for guests or caretakers.

The property is set up to be self sufficient, solar collectors and a Honda generator (as backup) supply power, water is collected to tanks, wireless internet, TV and telephone systems are all there to keep you in touch with the outside world as you relax, recharge and indulge in your private, exclusive hide-a-way.
