The Neck Game Reserve Lookout

The Neck Game Reserve Lookout on Bruny Island is a really cool place. There's plenty of parking and bathrooms, which is handy. You gotta climb some stairs to get to the awesome view, but trust me, it's totally worth it. The view is like a 360-degree movie of Bruny Island's beauty – the ocean, hills, and green stuff everywhere.

It can get a bit windy up there, but it just adds to the fun. And guess what? There's a short path that takes you to a chill beach. It's like a bonus feature to the already amazing view.

So, if you like nature and want a quick escape, this place is perfect. You can take great pictures, feel the wind, and even enjoy a peaceful beach. It's a must-visit if you're checking out Bruny Island.

Let me preface this by saying, if you're after creature comforts, this lookout isn't for you. It's a bit of a trek - nearly 300 steps up a steep dune! But let me tell you, the view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. 360 degrees of pure Tasmanian beauty - sparkling ocean on both sides, the lush greenery of Bruny Island sprawling out, and even a glimpse of mainland Tasmania in the distance. It's like something out of a postcard, but somehow even better.

I was a little worried about the climb at first, not gonna lie. But the steps are well-maintained, and there are even a few rest stops along the way. And honestly, the anticipation of the view just kept me going. Once I reached the top, all that effort melted away. It was like I could see forever.

I spent a good long while up there, just soaking it all in. There's a handy observation platform with information boards that point out all the different landmarks you can see. I even spotted a few wallabies grazing in the distance, which was a nice little bonus.

So, if you're looking for a stunning view and a bit of a challenge, The Neck Game Reserve Lookout is definitely worth the effort. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water for the climb. And trust me, your camera will thank you!

Really nice lookout. Was lucky and sun came out. Yes you have to climb "a couple" of stairs, bit it's well worth it! Even though there is a ♿ sign at the entrance, the lookout is not wheelchair friendly (the lookout at the other side is). Highly recommend!

A famous spot for the scenic view and picturesque photos you can take here.

Very much a touristy spot so expect them to be around.

Can get a little windy at the top and be ready to climb the stairs - the effort is well worth it though.

My partner proposed to me at the top of the stairs so of course I love this spot!
You may get a little puffed out on the climb up, but the view is spectacular and well worth the stop on your travels around Bruny Island

An obligatory place to visit on Bruny Island, it did not dissapoint with the views. The carpark was quite busy although people are constantly coming and going so the wait for a spot wasn't long.
A short walk up the stairs and you are greeted with a beautiful picture worthy 360 degree view.
There are toilets on site and is not too long of a drive from the ferry.

Such a beautiful lookout, but very busy on a beautiful day! Would recommend getting their early if the weather is clear and sunny. We also went back at sunset which we would also recommend as their was less people and the views were just immaculate! Be prepared for lots of stairs though!

Beautiful, especially on a grey windswept day. I recommend a walk on the beach - despite the number of people climbing to the lookout, we had the beach almost to ourselves.

Great viewing platform for Little Penguins and Shearwaters with very informative panels about the birds and the history of this site. Wheelchair accessible 2nd platform. Public bathrooms and parking available too.

Really cool lookout and amazing photos. Easy to get and convenient parking. Loved it.

Must drop in place at bruny islands. Took a ferry from hobart, a quick stop at get shucked and then to the neck. The views are worth it. During summers the bay waters gets pulled away from the shore naturally taking nothing away from how spectacular this part of bruny island is.

Great place to stop on a drive through, awesome views, interesting info plaques and lovely beach would love to come during the evening for the penguins

Must see on the island. A fair few steps but what a view. Recommend going for sunset!!

Toilets and parking at the site, as well as beach accesses

Such a good spot for a pit stop. Marvellous views of the ocean and a chance to observe wildlife

Lots of stairs to get to the top, you get to see the neck of bruny island! Gets very busy and parking might get full if you come late morning.

Stunning views of one of the most spectacular parts of Bruny Island. It's 212 stairs to the top, so get ready!

🐧 Yes, you can see penguins! Take the lower boardwalk, they come out of the ocean seasonally after sunset. Bring red cellophane for your torch, no flash photos and read the signage.

🚘 Small car park, probably gets crowded in peak season. No stopping along the road. Drive carefully at dusk and dawn for wildlife.

Fantastic view on both sides as you reach the top of this lookout. As the name suggests this lookout sits in between the sea. The scene is enjoyable from top accessible via stairs, a couple of parkings is available. One of the must to visit in this island. This can be better with accessibility if lifts were introduced.

Gorgeous and memorable view after a short walk, probably the most interesting place on Bruny Island. A must see!

Love this place...this high vantage viewing space gives you an unparalleled view of the 'neck' and its surrounding. Visit it when you're on Bruny.

Quite busy when we went but well worth the stop. Swing in if you’re driving past you won’t regret it.
