We arrived at dusk in Swansea and drove the main strip to the sight of all the shops and restaurants saying 'we are closed.' The power was off all along the coast. We checked into Swansea cottages in one of the Sherbourne lodges on the upper floor. The attic room is large and well furnished with the centrepiece being a... More

Hi Craig, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Swansea Cottages as well as the Romantic Attic Spa Suite. We are sorry that the power was off all along the East Coast and Swansea when you arrived. Due to a large bush fire near Hobart Aurora, the power authority switched power off to the whole East...

Beautiful cottages. We stayed in the Swan cottage which had 2 bedrooms. It was very clean, quiet and spacious. It had everything we required for our short stay. We were even given laundry powder to do some washing. Beds were very comfortable, full kitchen with a dishwasher and large fridge. Would be perfect for a longer stay, but unfortunately we... More

Stayed in 2-bedroom Dove cottage for two nights. Helpful, chatty owner. Cottage had just about every amenity you could want from S/C accommodation, including useful washer and drier. Very clean and well looked after generally - the owners clearly take a pride in their business. Signs all over town too, so you can't miss the site. Super bright lights in... More

We loved our stay at the cottages. Everything was catered for in our room to make it feel like home. My wife and I just got married there in Swansea as it is so beautiful. Rob and his staff bent over backwards to help. Thankyou guys, we shall see you again.

Visited for two nights 21st 22nd Jan 2013. Arrived early around 12:30 from a long trip, so very tired. We were greeted by the not so friendly owner. Saving rather rudely , that we have to come back at two o'clock, because the room wasn't ready. No offer to store our bags or give any details what his town had... More

I stayed at one of their cottages over the Christmas break. I was curious to see the cottage since we were charged $380 a night for a family of four, which was more than room rates downtown Sydney. The cottage was OK, but nothing spectacular. In fact we only had a room in one of the cottages. To call it... More

My partner and I stayed here a few nights ago and it was perfect. The location is perfect for walking into town for dinner (although it's a dark walk!) and everything was clean and beautiful. We stayed in the spa suite and cannot wait to go back!
