Vansittart Island

Views from Gun Carriage Hill sweep west to Franklin Sound, north to Lady Barren and Flinders Island including Mount Strzelecki. To the south Cape Barren Island forms a magnificent vista together with the smaller islands of Franklin Sound. The visual surroundings are spectacular and the serenity is, if anything, even more special. There can be no greater way to get away from it all, to leave the world to everyone else and simply, essentially 'be'.

From the elevated cottage there are landscapes and seascapes of mesmerizing appeal while the deck will make you linger long into the evening with firelight for company. Featuring some 502 Freehold acres, with the balance of the island's mass held in exclusive Leasehold Interest with the Crown, Vansittart Island delivers fabulous first impressions and never ending memories.

Everything about this place – its beauty, its brilliant bird life including abundant Quail, Wedgetail Eagles and Cape Baron Geese, its sealers' history – including the c1912 shipwreck of the 'Farsund' - will captivate you. See it, believe it, you may never want to leave it!
