Guests highlight spacious options and balconies or patios overlooking the bay.

This motel was lovely. Quiet with easy parking and very convenient to shops and some eateries, or a short drive to the Tavern that has a great Wednesday night Parmy and Pot special. Rooms that overlook the water are an option that would be lovely. Would definately recommend a stay if passing through.

毎日キャンプ生活だったので、最後にパッキングを整えるためにこちらのモーテルを利用。部屋の目の前に車を止められたので荷物の出し入れがスムーズで助かりました。部屋の冷蔵庫の中には冷えたグラスとワイングラスまであり、ホスピタリティを感じました。洗ったものを拭く布巾やトースターにアイロン、必要なものは全て揃っていました。建物内にランドリーもあり、洗濯機と乾燥機はそれぞれ4ドル、洗剤は無料で使わせてもらえたので買わずに済みました。とにかく最高の滞在でした。ありがとうございました。

The room was spacious, comfortable and a wonderful view of the bay. The private outside verandah with a table and chairs was terrific. Having a microwave in the room was very useful and quite uncommon in motels. My only criticism is that you have to use stairs to access all rooms, albeit only 6 stairs to the downstair rooms.

I went for a week touring in Tassie and every night stayed at Motels as it was convenient for us. By far Swansea is exceptional. First contact at reception was very welcoming and friendly with a smile. Our room was immaculate seems its newly painted looks very fresh. Bed was very comfortable, Me and wifey did had a very good sleep. Highly recommend.

Staff were lovely. Sleeping area good. Great view of the ocean. Only issues were the bathroom. Had to use the sink to get water or rinse dishes. The sink drain was blocked and took 5-10 mins to drain. Happened immediately while just running the tap so it was a big problem for brushing teeth or even washing hands. Management aware of issue and it was temporary but very unpleasant for us.

Our room was large and quiet. The bed was comfortable. Parking was easy. There is a very nice beach walk just below the hotel. Staff communication before we arrived was good via text. A few heads up for N American visitors: There is a labor shortage in Tasmania, as in much of Australia. Front desk coverage is very limited. Don't expect someone to be there to answer questions after 5 p.m. This motel is more like an Airbnb where you don't see staff. Be sure to ask for the WiFi password, ice, or anything else you might want before you get there. There is no staff available after 5 pm unless your hair is on fire.

We booked a standard room with water view and stayed there for 3 nights. We did enjoy our breakfast in the garden every morning looking at this beautiful water view. It located close to supermarket and restaurants so you don’t need to worry if you miss to bring any necessities and find place to eat. The only bad thing we find is; there’s not many plugs being installed inside the room, we need to unplug kettle and heater to charge our phones and other electronic devices.
