Located on the spectacular Southern Edge Drive Journey, Gulkula2 is just 15 minutes from the vibrant village of Cygnet and 25 minutes from the Bruny Island Ferry. This ideally located property is surrounded by beaches, boat ramps, walking tracks, wineries, cafes and more. Gulkula2 is a nature lovers paradise and the Lodge style accommodation provides a large, warm welcoming home base to explore this special area. Your host Jason lives in a separate valley on the property and is available 24/7 by request. As part of your stay, free night tours of the property, either guided or self guided, include night vision binoculars provided for your experience. Explore the day, explore the night, and record this amazing display of nature. Welcome to Gulkula2 Wildlife Retreat
This entire area is truly spectacular. This southern peninsula is flanked to the east by South Bruny Island and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, to the west the magnificent Hartz Mountain National Park and far south wilderness. Basing yourself at Gulkula2 has you just minutes from rain forests, beaches, fishing, boating, hiking, coastal reserves, villages, wineries and cafes. Cygnet is the local village and this beautiful hamlet is fast becoming one of the most sought after destinations for travellers and fellow Tasmanian’s alike. Cygnet has two IGA supermarkets, two local butchers, two service stations, multiple cafes, restaurants, art and craft shops, galleries, a market culture and more. Turn left to Kettering and the Bruny Island Ferry is a beautiful 25 minute drive along the coast from Gulkula2. The Aurora Australis appears on the southern horizon in the right conditions and here you are just minutes from the best viewing areas you could find. On a clear night at Gulkula2 the colosseum shaped back valley is hidden from all external light creating an incredible star gazing venue that has you in a 3D dome under the milky way.
