Redcliffe House grew from 2 circa 1835 convict-built farm cottages to a warm, inviting farmhouse, and is now an idyllic bed & breakfast on the northern boundary of Swansea on Tasmania’s beautiful east coast.
The property is an absolute haven: vineyard, beautiful gardens, huge paddock with impressive gum trees alongside the Meredith River, which has permanent water holes for those people who want to take a dip in warmer waters than the nearby ocean.
The Hazards of Freycinet National Park are visible over the tops of the trees. The grounds have plenty of facilities, with enough room for people to find a spot away from the others, if that is their wish, and our bird and animal life provide plenty of entertainment for those who wish to spend some time at peace with their environment, possibly with a glass of wine in hand.
We are only 1.5 km from Swansea’s restaurants, bars, galleries and other attractions, it will appeal to those people who want the facilities of a town but somewhere peaceful to spend the evening, with a clear view of the Milky Way and star formations, and a comfortable bed. For entertainment, we have a good selection of DVDs, available to our guests free of charge.
Redcliffe’s appeal is to all age groups and to people of many different backgrounds – in fact, to anybody seeking a truly uplifting experience.

Things to do:
Swansea was first settled in 1821 and became the centre of the oldest rural municipality in Australia. It has many historic buildings, museums and a fully restored Wattle Bark Mill.
Fairy penguin and short-tailed shearwater rookeries nearby allow you to view these birds as they return from the sea each evening in season.
Only 1.5 hours drive from either Hobart or Launceston, Swansea is a central location for visiting Maria Island, Douglas Apsley and Freycinet National Parks. Vineyards, waterfalls, history and natural beauty are all a part of Swansea’s charm.
