Parnella Kettering
Welcome to Kettering, the gateway to the magnificent d’Entrecasteaux Channel region.
Kettering is also a fishing village and the home port for the Bruny Island ferry.
Only an easy 25 minute drive from the centre of Hobart, Parnella Kettering is the perfect base from which to explore both the Channel and Bruny Island. Being so close to Hobart also permits day trips to the city to visit Salamanca and MONA or you may just choose to stay in this region and discover the many wonderful attractions it has to offer. The Bruny Island ferry terminal is an easy 5 minute drive from our front gate.
It’s always amazed us how many of our guests check-in with the intention of getting out and exploring every day, but decide to stay here because it is so peaceful.
The garden that surrounds the property attracts all sorts of wildlife including an incredible array of birds. Pademelons appear every evening for a feed and our rescue pony, “Tooshy” and her two merino mates are always on hand to remind you to feed them!
Our garden attracts possums including the endangered ringtail, pademelons, echidnas, quolls, bettongs, blue tongued lizards and the occasional Tasmanian Devil. Some birdwatching guests who have stayed have counted over 30 different species of birds in our garden alone, including the endangered Swift Parrot.
