Water Taxi?! What a wimp! A real adventurer would have swum to the private island with all his gear strapped to his back! Seriously, what a stunner of a location. How, on earth, did you manage to score the entire private island to yourselves?! I truly love how you are featuring the magnificent natural highlights of Tasmania in conjunction with your tiny house/bungalow/cottage videos. 1:12-1:16 - what a brilliantly beautiful juxtaposition of land and sea. You have definitely hit your stride, and all that was required: one private island upgrade! At 2:00, when you suggest “Let’s go and check out the main lodge” my first thought was: “No! We haven’t yet spent an hour touring the rest of the outdoors!” But then I realized that it’s ultimately about the accommodations. Nonetheless, when are you featuring the hour-long video of the rest of the outdoors…? An over-the-water Master Suite! Who needs Tahiti when Tasmania offers such accommodations?! And that view out the door (4:24-4:27)! And so much history: who knew that Captain Cook’s ship would be so prominently displayed amongst the flora and fauna. Speaking of which: 8:11-8:12 “Oh, huge spider!” Proving to the world that Australia is indeed the Land of Death At Every Turn! So, two important questions which beg to be asked: Is the Epic Outdoor Shower experience better than a mundane outdoor bath experience…? Is the channel’s official name now changed to: Ben Little’s Private Island Life…? And don’t worry about the Full Monty shower: I’m sure all the residents on the coast filming through their binoculars will produce only the fuzziest of videos - I mean the most out-of-focus videos. However, it’s best to talk about how you’re doing exposure-wise before the outdoor shower…
hahaha! One thing I am terrified of is sharks... and like the spiders, sharks regularly EAT people here lol. This adventurer is very happy to take the speed boat haha. I believe they only book the whole island out, as in they dont have separate bookings on the island at once. We tacked on the the end of a booking and at minimal cost to the owner, was able to stay a night and create the content here :) A win, win! Yes! I love unique stays, but its often features of the property such as location, setting that also are what captures me, in addition to the design and building itself. The experience as a whole I guess! and this one certainly is super unique and memorable. Thanks for the support Mark! :)
Fabulous Ben, loved the amazing footage and commentary, lucky to have a guest marine biologist on the island. Picnic Island is a little gem amongst the Freycinet treasure.
Ben Speechless! Have just fwd to several friends. Epic! Bucket List! Perfection. Incredible. If not the world..absolutely. Thank You for sharing. And the 'unique' Ben take n a place. As always, brilliant video. Editing and sound. And of course, watched to the last frame! LOL! Thanks Ben Made a cold, dark January evening in UK liveable. Cheers.
Thanks Keith! So glad you enjoyed this one! and thank you for the support and for sharing! :) Means a lot. I had a lot of fun making this video, that's for sure. and thank you for watching till the end!! :) Till next week! Cheers, Ben
Impressive video as always Ben. The water looks so clean n fresh. Great info on how to get there. Stunning place n view to visit. Will be on my bucket list . 🍻☀️ Keep it up Ben 👏
It looks stunning. It’s always been on the list just haven’t got there yet. If you ever get the chance, you need to visit Thalia Haven. Just south of Avalon. It has a picture postcard outdoor bathtub with an outdoor shower to rival that one.
Thanks Roy! Yes that back wilderness deck and open air shower... What's not to love! I feel very lucky to have had the experience. Thanks for watching!

This place looks stunning! What an awesome video. The out-takes cracked me up. 🤣 Thank you for including them. 😀
Yes the outtakes here were great. I think I was a bit delirious which added to the fun (;
Fabulous Ben, loved the amazing footage and commentary, lucky to have a guest marine biologist on the island.
Picnic Island is a little gem amongst the Freycinet treasure.
Thanks Mot! Yes! So lucky to have the resident Marine Biologist on hand! :)
One day your channel will blow up, mate! It's high quality stuff!
Glad you think so, I really appreciate your support :) Thanks for being here! :)

Oh Ben! Forgive me! The maps and location! Thank You! Very much appreciated! Helps us Europeans to know where the place is! Cheers.
No worries Keith! Thank you again for the suggestion!! :)
Impressive video as always Ben. The water looks so clean n fresh. Great info on how to get there. Stunning place n view to visit. Will be on my bucket list . 🍻☀️ Keep it up Ben 👏
Thank you so much Sky! If you get. A group together it’s a great option! Thank you for the support my friend!
It looks stunning. It’s always been on the list just haven’t got there yet.
If you ever get the chance, you need to visit Thalia Haven. Just south of Avalon. It has a picture postcard outdoor bathtub with an outdoor shower to rival that one.
HI Graeme, Thanks for the advice here! Your not the first to suggest Thalia. Might have to get in touch with them! Thanks for the support! Ben
Hey Ben, another cracker getaway find. Who would not want to shower all day, throw in a bottle of wine, perfect.
Thanks Roy! Yes that back wilderness deck and open air shower... What's not to love! I feel very lucky to have had the experience. Thanks for watching!
Methinks that our Ben might have thrown in two bottles of wine...wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
