About this property

Herons Studio A Picturesque Couples Cottage

Escape to this gorgeous cottage nestled amidst a former vineyard's rolling lawns and gardens, with dreamy ocean views to Bruny Island forming its romantic backdrop. High timber panelled ceilings and a cosy fireplace complement a bright open layout that exudes an ambience of relaxed luxury and country-style charm. Wonderfully secluded and private, it is nestled by the seaside village of Kettering, harbouring the Bruny Island ferry and renowned for its fresh produce, seafood and local eateries.
The Studio at ‘Herons Vineyard’ is the ideal sanctuary for a romantic escape. One of three secluded residences hidden amid the 12-acre ‘Herons Vineyard’ estate, this enchanting cottage wrapped in blossoming gardens looks as if it’s leapt straight out of a fairy-tale movie set.

Step inside and feel the country warmth with timber panelled beamed ceilings hovering over the open plan living area with a lounge, coffee table and TV all huddled around a cosy, slow-combustion fireplace. There’s a modern kitchen with all the essentials, along with a three-seater table catering to meals at home. Multiple windows drench the space in natural light and highlight views across the rolling lawns and vineyard gardens out to the ocean and Bruny Island.

The spacious bedroom area is partitioned by a half-wall and decked out with timber floorboards. It houses an elegant queen bed along with a modern ensuite, offers a walk-in glass shower and all the essentials.

During the warmer months, there are Tiger snakes around so please wear closed shoes when walking about the property! We have several beehives and a small duck pond that is not enclosed. There is also a creek which borders the property. Guests with children should not allow them to wander the property unaccompanied.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
