Property Description
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.

Lovely and relaxing
Lovely property, very clean with fantastic views over Oyster Bay from most of the rooms. Walking distance to town. Open fire was cosy (we visited in June) backed up up by the split system that provided enough warmth. Entry is a bit difficult to find as google sends you around the corner & as others have noted not a property for those with major mobility issues due to steps/steep driveway.

Beautiful and Serene
I wanted to take my husband and elderly parents away for a few days as these last few months medical issues have hit our family. The beds are super comfy, the lounges are very comfortable and the kitchen fully equiped and a few things in the pantry and fridge were much appreciated. A wonderful spot to watch the ocean and so so quiet. We got the key and got to the front porch which is quit narrow and has a table and chairs on it. It felt a bit unsafe. My dad who is 89 shuffled sideways past the table and chairs with no room for error and mum who is 87 just had a hip replacement which made it difficult. Once we got inside we checked out the back door and realised there is a quite level access to there. The key is for the front door, so maybe consider rekeying it so you can access by the back door or maybe consider a railing that wont interfere with the view. Overall it was a wonderful stay, in a beautiful spot and we would have no worries about returning at all.

Amazing Location
The property is a wonderful experience! It is quietly secluded and spotless throughout with magnificent views. There is a path to the beach where the surrounding scenery is just beautiful. If you want to relax, unwind this is the place to visit. We loved e everything about The Hideaway!

Awesome for a quiet getaway with everything you need to be self-contained. Also a great cafe/pub within walking distance or 2 min drive.

Short stay with extended family after completing Three Capes Track
Perfect place for a relaxing stay after completing Three Capes Track. We loved the location and views over the water, the private access to the beach, the set up of the house and views from all areas. Thanks for a wonderful place to enjoy and share with our NZ family.

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
