An absolutely amazing property that is better in real life than the photos. The place is great and conveniently located with everything you need.

Awesome Sea View Luxury House

Love this property - it has one of the best sea view in the area, nice contemporary deco, good kitchen with open plan and just great view all around. The area is also very quiet, just a short 7 mins drive to town and can get to the beach easily. Freycinet Holiday Houses is very responsive to our queries and supportive to our needs, thank you.

Absolute perfection at Halcyon House, Coles Bay! We had the most incredible stay at Halcyon House. The property manager was outstanding from start to finish — excellent communication, super responsive, and genuinely warm and helpful. It made everything effortless. The house itself is stunning. It sits right on the ocean, so you wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It’s incredibly peaceful and private — the perfect escape. The kitchen is large and very well equipped, and the layout is spacious with three big bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king bed and a spectacular ensuite with a breathtaking view over the beach. The second bedroom with the queen bed also looks straight out to the water. Access to the beach is really easy, and we loved spending time on the big deck soaking in the views. The sunsets from the house are simply unforgettable — every evening felt magical watching the sky change over the water. I can’t recommend Halcyon House highly enough. Beautiful home, amazing views, total tranquility, and a fantastic property manager. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Spectacular view and wonderful location

Halcyon is located in beautiful Swanwick near Coles Bay in the Freycinet National Park. The accommodation sits perched at the top of the street overlooking the magnificent Oyster Bay. The view through the floor to ceiling glass which is right across the span of the main living space is truly breathtaking. The view looks out to Oyster Bay with Sandpiper beach just a short walk from the house. The view takes in Dolphin Sands and Swansea in the distance, with a clear day giving you a view of Maria Island further down the East Coast. The open fireplace sits in the middle of the huge expanse of glass so you can enjoy both the view of the crackling fire and the scenery without turning your head. The house is equipped with a large kitchen and 3 bedrooms with large beds. The 2 main bedrooms also take in the beautiful view through floor to ceiling glass, with an ensuite to the main bedroom equipped with a double vanity, toilet and shower. The house also has a formal dining area, laundry and second bathroom. The deck outside spans the length of the main living and main bedroom. The other main bedroom also has a deck of its own. There is a fire pit on the deck out the front of the house with some built in seating. The house also comes with a double garage, and plenty of sealed driveway for parking off street. Swanwick is a short drive from the main township of Coles Bay which offers lots of activities including bush walks, kayaking, Wineglass Bay Boat Cruise, Quad Biking and some favourite eateries such as Geographe which caters for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner...fabulous pizza...right next door is the IceCreamery which also caters for Hot Chips, Fish & Chips, Hot Dogs and of course..beautiful Icecream. There is a convenience store across the road from the eateries for your grocery needs. The town also has a Tavern, Garage, Bakery and some other small stores. There is also the opportunity to take scenic flights and a water taxi that you can take out to Hazards beach. Do yourself a favour and come and enjoy all this wonderful area has to offer.

Hi Jacinta, It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful house, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would love to offer the fireplace year round but there are a number of factors which make this difficult, particularly a lack of firewood supply in our area outside of the winter season. But the home owner has ensured the alternative heating is adequate for the property. Please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange your next holiday in this stunning part of Tassie.

Long awaited getaway

We chose Halcyon for a mini-break without the kids and it was really lovely. The house is fresh, clean and designed really nicely - and the views are just too amazing for words. It was a real "treat yourself" type trip for us. Our only drawback is that we couldn't block out the light in the mornings so we didn't really get the kid-free sleep in we had imagined but we still enjoyed every minute.

We had a fantastic experience at Halcyon house. Its very well appointed, clean & comfortable with the most amazing panoramic water views. The kitchen is well equipped for groups and the champagne & chocolates on arrival was a lovely touch. The house is centrally located with a short drive to the town for groceries, coffee & lovely walks. Highly recommend. Only additions to the house would be Bluetooth speakers for music & 3pm check out :)
