Located off Bruny Island in southern Tasmania, this small island formerly belonged to a writer, painter and poet. And now a family has transformed it into
Satellite Island, an off the grid hide-away in untamed
Tasmanian wilderness. Your own private island to share with family and friends where you can wake to the sound of sea birds, fish from the boathouse jetty, explore the waters by kayak or simply enjoy the scenery from a deckchair (
guh!). Oh and did I mention the beautiful rustic vibe of the
summer house and boathouse? The only real way to finish the day would be
to watch the sunset with a glass of chilled Tasmanian wine -
don't you think?! Can someone please whisk me away here?
Source: these beautiful pictures were taken by Kara Rosenlund and shared with kind permission.
I mean, could you
imagine?!
I wish I could say -
and I'm holding a give-away to stay here for a week.... hahaha! I don't think I'd be able to give the prize away if this was the case?! But maybe we could share it?!
Satellite Island are you listening?
Now this might sound crazy, but there
are a few ideas to steal from this beautiful haven (hey, Tasmania's far away, it's nearly the weekend, we can do tropical too, right?):
Bedroom: source Kilim rugs to overlap
here.
Kitchen: industrial white
pendant light, white
Tolix chairs.
Sitting room: source beautiful denim blue stonewashed linen by the metre
here (how's that for a quick update for an old sofa?!).
Bedroom 2: find stonewashed linen bedding in these shades
here.
In need of more 'paradise' inspiration? - I'm also loving an
ethereal beach house on St Barths, a
villa in tropical gardens in Brazil, and a long term favourite of mine - a little
touch of paradise on Mykonos. And yes, you can stay at all of them! Which one first?!
I'll leave you to dream!
