Great location
Lovely quaint home within walking distance to restaurants & cafes. Bed was extremely comfortable & living room had a beautiful outlook. Only downfall is the old kitchen & laundry but still had everything you needed. One of the door locks in the living room was broken & did not lock & had a small bit of black tape to try & hold it closed which didn’t work when windy.

We had a lovely time at Swansea House. A very sweat cottage beautifully decorated and so comfortable. Great back yard for our pet Whippet. The bed was so cozy and comfortable. The property is perfectly positioned close to the beach and restaurants. Thank you so much. We can't wait to come back one day. Linda

This was our second stay this year and we couldn’t fault anything! Had friends with us for part of our stay and they loved it too. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped ‘home away from home’. Thank you Jane…we will be back soon!

Great location and good vibe to house.
Enjoyed being with family down from Brisbane. Needed to use our own ramp to get into the property so not really wheelchair accessible. Suggest a ramp be put in. Lovely location and great restaurant nearby

A GREAT FIND
A lovely old cottage, set in a scenic area, in walking distance to the beaches a town centre. The town was very quiet, which of course will probably change with the upcoming holiday season. A great lounge / dining area, leading out onto a generous deck, with bbq. A welcome fireplace, with copious quantities of firewood. The house was well heated, and would be lovely and cool in summer.

Cosy and traditional
This cosy house was warm and welcoming when we arrived for our winter stay. I at first saw the old fashioned kitchen without a dishwasher with dismay, but after cooking a beautiful roast dinner and various other meals, we realised that it was well equipped and easy to use. A short stroll to coffee, the beach and convenient shops, and a scenic drive to stunning Freycinet and Coles Bay.

Perfect!
Perfect location - close to everything and so tranquil. Stand outs were the beautifully sunny deck and amazing fire place (also enjoyed by our two miniature sausage dogs!). Bed was one of the most comfortable we’d slept in for a long time. Booked in again for Christmas! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
