When your friends hear you’ve nabbed a reservation for wildly beautiful Satellite Island, they’ll be vying for an invite. This 34-hectare island is available only for exclusive hire and sleeps eight guests at a time in its Boathouse, Summer House and luxury tent. And if you long for more company – or a restock of produce – Bruny Island is a speedy five-minute boat ride across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
