Cosy Heritage Cottage – Spotlessly Clean & Thoughtfully Appointed

From the moment we arrived, the Swanport General Store’s heritage charm and location impressed us. The cottage was impeccably clean, spacious and appointed with thoughtful touches, and it was equipped with everything we needed. The comfy sofas in the cosy lounge offered a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the perfectly framed river‑flat views. The verandah and BBQ area were ideal spaces for unwinding after a day exploring the surroundings. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend. The house was beautifully set up and contained everything you need in generous proportions. My only suggestion might be to add a railing to the 3 sets of deep steps inside the house to aid those who are not as steady on there feet. Ie. Elderly or young children.

Beautifully refurbished heritage home. Most of the mod cons. Plenty of space. Nice walk down to the river. Good location for those looking to head to The Bend racetrack about 15 minutes down the road. Would decibel stay here again. Only slight issue was the lack of WiFi. Not many places in 2024 that don't have it
