Nestled on the shores of Little Taylors Bay, The Pier House is a haven for artists, dreamers, and those seeking quiet inspiration by the sea. Whether you arrive by road or boat*, this charming retreat invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the ever-changing beauty of South Bruny. With pristine waters, open skies, and golden sunsets, it’s a place where creativity flows as freely as the tide.

The Pier House is a fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage designed for comfort and quiet contemplation. From the moment you arrive, the sound of waves and the wide-open views across the bay set the tone for a restorative escape - be it a solo adventure or a romantic retreat. The natural beauty surrounding you is constant and captivating, from the shifting light over Huon Island to the silhouette of Hartz Mountain on the horizon.

Step outside onto the deck or wander down the private jetty to soak in the calm or catch the sunset. Nearby, you’ll find the iconic Cape Bruny Lighthouse and the vast beauty of Cloudy Bay Lagoon. The Pier House offers not just a place to stay, but a setting that invites connection - with nature, creativity, and yourself.

Our journey started in 2012 when we moved from Colombia to Tasmania, looking for a better future for our son and new opportunities for ourselves. This beautiful island quickly became home, and we’ve loved every moment of our adventure here. We’ve been in tourism and hospitality since the very beginning, starting out as housekeepers and hosts in 2012. For us, hosting with purpose means going beyond just providing a place to stay—we genuinely care about your experience and want you to feel at home.
