A lunch date at beautiful Bruny

‘Let’s do lunch,’ takes on a whole new meaning when you arrive rock-star style in a helicopter. 

Hop on board and get out the camera as we fly over Hobart and the River Derwent before heading south along the D’Entrecasteaux Channel to the island locals know as ‘Bruny’.

On the way to lunch you’ll see rugged cliffs, sheltered bays with sparkling turquoise water and long windswept beaches. We fly over ‘The Neck’ – an iconic isthmus which is home to a fairy penguin rookery – before arriving at the sleepy town of Alonnah.

Settle in to the island’s legendary pub, Hotel Bruny, for lunch with a view overlooking the tranquil water of the channel. Love a monstrous chicken parma? Or prefer fresh local seafood? Both taste amazing paired with an award-winning Bruny Island Apple & Cherry Cider.

Hotel Bruny is the perfect place to while away a few hours and get to experience a different side of Bruny Island – not only see its magnificence from the sky, but also gain an insight into the relaxed island lifestyle over lunch.
