This is what I envision a granny cottage would look like, if my granny had a bungalow out back. Very charmingly filled with mauve, doilies and kitch, it was very comfortable and quaint, with very friendly and helpful hosts. The bathroom is functional but tiny, and the bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit flat (after staying the... More

We stayed in the oak suite which was quaint and charming with a terrific view of the ocean. The room was spotless with an old English cottage style. We found the hosts welcoming and friendly. The breakfast supplied catered perfectly for our needs and we enjoyed a relaxing bbq at night whilst watching the sun set. The decor and furnishing... More

Charming cottages overlooking the water about 1km from Swansea village. Really comfortable, full of character and very good value. Sadly I understand all the cottages are for sale at present so visit quickly before it's too late. The owners are charming as well.

Stayed in an Oak bed sit cottage for one night. Chose to stay after enquiring about vacancies and found the owner so pleasant, friendly and willing to let us take a look. Only stayed the one night as we wanted to see some other parts of Tasmania before returning to Hobart. The bed was so comfortable and roomy - great... More

We stayed in a 1 bed cottage which is attached to another 1 bed cottage. It's very small but has all the conveniences and a really comfy bed. Authentic colonial decor and outstanding views complete this quirky little place.

We booked the Cedar cottage for one night for a quick trip away from home - and loved it there, it was so relaxing and had everything we need. So very clean and comfortable. When travelling with a baby, its sometimes so difficult to settle in - but she slept so well in the portacot that was provided for us,... More

Very comfortable accommodation - quaint and very comfortable. Rooms are nicely decorated and quite lit up inside. Continental breakfast provisions provided - 3 cereals, toast, jam, juice, milk, butter and spreads with a good array of utensils, toaster, plates, griller etc. A good outlook over the water.
