The view out the front door was quite picturesque and it was lovely to watch the sunset after a busy day. It would be good if there was wifi.

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

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!
