OUR GUESTS
At Swan River Sanctuary, our guests cherish the authenticity and personalized experience of our luxurious farm stay. For those seeking extra indulgence, we offer additional options such as a wood-fired sauna and safari experiences, available at an additional cost. Those interested in experiencing how nature, tourism and farming can work together sustainably gravitate here. Bird watchers (twitchers) are drawn globally by the rare chance to venture by boat into the Moulting Lagoon Conservation Area, home to one of Tasmania's richest diversities of birdlife. Others are curious about the inner workings of Routley's regenerative cattle operation while others again simply desire to slow down. They crave sauna time, slow long-table dinners and gathering round a crackling open fire, reclining back in designer chairs.

OUR LOCATION
Surrounded by premier East Coast vineyards, the Swan River Sanctuary is located about ten minutes north of the seaside township of Swansea.

Three rivers converge on the property, The Swan, The Wye and Blueman's Creek and it is here that farming and luxury lodging meet. The farm is about half an hour from Freycinet National Park, home to the iconic Wineglass Bay Beach, two hours drive from Hobart and 1 hour 45 minutes from Launceston. Guests can request transfers by car or helicopter.

Freycinet National Park is 30 minutes drive away, gateway to the iconic Wineglass Bay beach.
