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.

All good except the musty odour.

Neat and tidy older style accommodation in a central location. The only negative was a strong and persistent musty odour.

Great views and location with friendly and helpful staff. Room we had was a bit old and dated - commensurate with cost I guess. Check before you book. They have newer accomodation for extra cost if that suits you better.
