The Shack on Francis

This little piece of paradise offers a modern, beachy family escape for up to four guests. Minutes walk to a safe swimming beach, this is the spot for you to relax in between your Bruny explorations! This home offers two generous bedrooms, walk-in shower, a full kitchen, cofee machine, BBQ, laundry and free WiFi. A heat pump heats the home to perfection. To top it off, enjoy wine on the expansive deck and feast on all of your Bruny produce - al fresco style!
The space
This idyllic beach home has been curated to provide everything you might need to enjoy a longer stay on Bruny Island and has been competitively priced.
A renovated home, the vibe is carefree and light-filled throughout, with large windows looking out on to the yard. A well stocked kitchen with heaps of space to get busy cooking for your loved ones is on offer and coffee is a breeze to make with the Delonghi coffee pod machine. A large bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity is complimented by Ancient Earth bathroom products. There is an extra-large laundry with washing machine and dryer. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with hotel quality linen including toweling included. There is a fireplace in this home but it has been replaced with a heat pump to ensure guests are taken care of during the colder months. If you are wanting to eat out, Hotel Bruny is a fifteen minute drive away, and another ten minutes will take you to Bruny Island Premium Wines!

Clean and cosy shack in Adventure Bay

The accommodation at Shack on Francis is delightful. Warm and cosy with everything you need. Accommodation was very clean and owner has tastefully furnished this property. Ideally located in Adventure Bay. We even had a visit from the white wallaby. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
