The Hideaway at Swansea - absolute beachfront

The Hideaway is a unique, secluded beachfront property sitting on a rocky bluff in the historic township of Swansea on the magnificent east coast of Tasmania. Hear the waves lapping on the beach below. Be mesmerized by the 180° view over Oyster Bay, Freycinet Peninsula and Schouten Island. Feel the sea breeze. Walk directly onto the sand where you have 9 miles of beach ready to explore. Relax, catch up, enjoy.

Adventure awaits

Swansea is ideally situated to become your base for exploring the Tasmanian East Coast. It is less than 2 hours to both Launceston and Hobart. It is 45 minutes drive to Freycinet National Park or to the ferry to Maria Island National Park. Swansea is well known for boating, kayaking and fishing. Nearby there are opportunities for bushwalking, mountain biking, surfing and scuba diving.


Spectacular Food and Wine

Swansea has an impressive array of cafes and restaurants. Within easy walking distance (via the beach) are Artifact Gallery & Café, Saltshaker Restaurant & Café and Oyster Bay Seafoods. Piermont Restaurant is a multi award winning venue 5 minutes south of Swansea. The Barkmill Tarvern is a wonderful family restaurant and boasts a bakery and museum.
The East Coast is a premium growing region for cool climate wines with Milton, Springvale, Gala and Freycinet Vineyard cellar doors nearby.

Happiness At The Hideaway
This is our third stay at The Hideaway...everything about this place is amazing. The location...so close to the beach...incredible panoramic views from the abundance of windows...big fireplace...beautiful linen and cosy beds. Love the Vintage beach shack vibe and simple furnishings. A house to feel comfortable in and relax. Thank you to the host Andrew, for sharing this wonderful house.

Perfect Hideaway
We loved our stay at The Hideaway. It’s a bit quirky BUT the view is just wonderful day and night. Concealed beautifully amongst the trees with a path leading down to the beach. The BEST FIREPLACE EVER. Worked like a dream. Kitchen well equipped and not far from the action in Swansea. Lovely beach walks around Great Oyster Bay. Really enjoyed our week at The Hideaway

Amazing Getaway
This is our second stay at The Hideaway. There's a good reason fo that...it's THE best accomodation in every way. There are mind blowing panoramic views from the abundance of windows in this beautiful vintage house. A minute walk to the beach and with all the charm of a 'shack' though next level comfort. Love everything about this place, they are very lucky owners because I'd live there permanently in a heartbeat! Thank you again for sharing this beautiful space and we look forward to returning.

Cheerful Oceanfront Getaway
Great place to stay, and reasonably priced. All comfortable amenities and spectacular views were as advertised. Very warm and cozy inside, as we watched the ocean crash on the shore outside - on some cold October nights! Easy access to all East and South East coast attractions. Anyone interested in visiting the Freycinet coast should consider this property.

Hideaway
Peaceful, gorgeous secluded location even though close to town. Very clean and well presented. Beautiful rooms. Wake up every morning to see the sunrise over the beach directly from bed. Kitchen had everything we needed including basic pantry items. Laundry much appreciated. Very short walk to town either on road or via beach. Highly recommended weekend (or longer) get away from the cities.
