Beachfront accommodation at the heart of the Freycinet Coast

At Swansea Beach Chalets, we offer modern, spacious beachfront chalets where you can wake up slowly to the sound of waves.

Catch the first sun of the day as you stroll along the sand, before popping into a cosy local café for breakfast. Whether your passion is walking or wildlife, watersports or wineries, Tasmania’s East Coast has something for everyone. Our friendly team look forward to helping you plan your perfect stay.

  • Spectacular Freycinet views

    Our beautiful beachfront location offers unrivalled panoramic views across Great Oyster Bay to the Freycinet Peninsula. Prepare to be captivated by stunning East Coast sunrises, the distinctive granite peaks of the Hazards, and the ever-changing light as it dances on the water.

  • Direct beach access

    Swansea Beach Chalets offer the ultimate beachside holiday, with direct access to Jubilee Beach for all our guests. Step out of your chalet and find yourself just moments away from sinking your toes into the soft sand. This popular, sheltered beach is ideal for daytime swims and sunset strolls.

  • Simple, stylish, self-contained chalets

    We offer a range of comfortable, contemporary one- and two- bedroom chalets. Our premium chalets offer uninterrupted water views, while our standard chalets are set back from the beach among native trees. All chalets have a private verandah, kitchenette, and free Wi-Fi. Linens and towels are provided.

  • A warm Tasmanian welcome

    Our friendly staff team all live locally, and love to share their insider tips with guests. From the best coffee in town, to the secret beach or the just-opened walking trail – we’ll get out the maps and brochures and help you plan your perfect East Coast holiday.

  • The heart of wine region

    Tasmania’s East Coast wine region is renowned for its production of high-quality, cool climate wines. Many of the region’s best vineyards are within easy reach of Swansea Beach Chalets, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy wine tastings and cellar door experiences in breathtaking natural surroundings.

  • Discover Tasmania’s National Parks

    Tasmania is famous for its National Parks, and three of the best are on the East Coast within easy driving distance of Swansea. Take a day to explore historic Maria Island, enjoy the stunning beauty of Freycinet, or discover the distinctive waterholes and eucalypt forests of Douglas Apsley.

Loved it! We stayed in a Premium Waterfront 1 Bedroom Studio. The AC was on when we arrived so the room was nice and cool. So clean and very comfortable. Bathroom had the best natural light I have ever come across. Had everything we needed, plus more. Well designed with plenty of space to lay out your things. Great view of the bay and a short stroll to the water where we had a fabulous swim. The bed was super comfy. This was a last minute booking and although a bit more than our usual budget, worth every cent!

Very friendly and helpful staff who are more than happy to go above and beyond for their guests (we also love Ted). We stayed in one of the new waterfront chalets with views you simply cannot beat. The room was modern, comfortable, clean and quiet. Thanks for having us, we’ll be keen to return soon for another relaxing stay.

We stayed there 3 nights and I wish it was longer! The chalet (Premium Waterfront 1 Bedroom) was very spacious, and the view from the couch to the Great Oyster Bay and Freycinet Peninsula was just amazing. You get the cool breeze from the bay and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The chalet has a fully equipped kitchen, so you can prepare your meals there or take a short walk to the nearby cafes and restaurants. The owners and the employees at the reception are really helpful and provided many recommendations on what to see and do through the Eastern Coast of Tasmania.
