Hamptons on the Bay — Local services in Tasmania

Obviously what draws people to this place is the view, and it did not disappoint. The view over the ocean and the Freycinet National Park beyond is breathtaking. The close proximity to the ocean and the roaring waves lapping on shore is quite mesmerising. A couple of downsides though: being a self service cabin with no decent restaurant nearby (Piermont retreat is the closest but appears to be closed when were there) means you likely have do your own cooking. Swansea has one IGA but with very limited stocks so it's advisable to be better prepared with your own grocery, esp seafood, wagyu... no wifi or mobile coverage (i think only Telstra is working) means stays offline during your stays heating is probably the worst part of the stays. Only one heater and it's barely enough for the room. Just as well we were not here in winter, I'm sure i would have complained and asked for another heater. A mental note, bring your own portable heater.

Lastly the hinges on all the doors need a spot of WD40 to stop the annoying squeaks when going for a wee at 2am!|Overall a nice family stay and would...

Absolutely fantastic and unforgettable stay!! Kelvin was there to greet us when we arrived and he was the perfect host! Stayed in the three bedroom house with a bunch of girlfriends and it was brilliant. The venue has since been refurbished so it looks nothing like the Japanese restaurant it once held. The decor was elegant yet inviting and the house was spotlessly clean. The highlight was definitely the amazing sea views from the living room and master bedroom! The beautiful kitchen was well equipped with everything one would need to host a dinner party. One of my friend's who is getting married soon commented that this would be a fantastic venue for an outdoor wedding. Warm rooms and a gorgeous fireplace made for a cozy winter stay. We would love to be back in the summer for some outdoor dining with...
