A few more steps …

For now, the work on the site of our new development on Bruny Island has paused whilst the summer breeding season for the various bird and wildlife in the region can get on without being interrupted by the sounds and smells of heavy machinery. Our development permit has given us very strict construction guidelines including…

Where the wild things are.

Our new development on Bruny Island is in an iconic location as the above photograph demonstrates. The red outline is the boundary of our very special 12 acre property and beyond and around us is the South Bruny National Park which contains some amazing scenery. Our closest neighbours are wallabies, echidnas and the amazingly varied…

Something special is happening on Bruny Island

After years of planning, stage 1 of our unique development in historic East Cove on Bruny Island has been completed. Set on 12 acres of delightful bushland and bordered on two sides by the South Bruny National Park and by the waters of Adventure Bay on another, Parnella East Cove will initially be a single…

Adventure Bay, Bruny Island

  Adventure Bay is a spectacular crescent on the eastern side of south Bruny Island. White sand beaches, rocky coves and headlands, brilliant surfing and fishing plus the township of Adventure Bay make it one of the “must-see” destinations on the island. Pennicott Wilderness Tours has its base of operations in the very southern part of…

It’s spring at Parnella

After a long chilly and rather dreary winter Parnella has popped out into a warmer but wetter spring. Everything is green and lush … even us, after whipper-snippering and mowing our way through the undergrowth. And of course the wildlife is doing its thing all around us.

To celebrate, we are offering a complimentary breakfast hamper and bottle of wine for all two night reservations as long as they are booked before August 1 2020 for any dates during that…

We Are Still Open For Business

Our properties are fully self-contained with laundry facilities. In the case of voluntary self-isolation we can offer support with shopping and other essential services.  You…

Good morning from Tassie!

Good morning and no matter where you are we hope that you are safe and healthy. Our traumatic times have certainly impacted so many from around the globe, so as a little bit of a distraction we took some photos at our local beach this morning. Enjoy. And don’t forget … if you are thinking…

Wassup?

Communicating with our guests is becoming increasingly difficult as many booking channels, such as Expedia and Agoda, strip out important information in emails that we send.  Why they do this is a mystery but we are assuming that it is to prevent direct marketing material being sent to their customers. From our perspective, as the…

Parnella Accommodation is changing its name to Parnella Group Tasmania and will be opening new offices and guest reception in Snug, Tasmania. The new contact point will be called Beach Road Studio & Gallery and will be located in … yes, you guessed it … Beach Road, Snug next door to the new IGA supermarket….
