About This Stay

Nestled in the tranquil embrace of Swanwick, just steps from the Swanwick Jetty and minutes from the vibrant heart of Coles Bay, this enchanting retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature at your own pace, and savour life’s simple pleasures.

Recently renovated with love and care, this cosy haven blends modern comforts with the timeless magic of its breathtaking surroundings.

Step outside, and you’ll find the riverfront at your doorstep—just a few steps away, you can dip your toes into the refreshingly cool waters or stroll along the shoreline, feeling the rhythm of the waves. Or perhaps if you are more of an explorer, bring your own kayaks to enjoy the extensive and pristine Swan River; or your fishing gear to spend the day at the Jetty for the catch of the day.

Inside, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for cherished moments with loved ones, whether you’re sharing a glass of wine by the large windows framing the water views or snuggling up together in the cosy living space.

Wake up to the sounds of nature, enjoy your morning coffee with breathtaking views, or explore the pristine Sandpiper Beach, just a minute away from the house.

Perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape, small families making new memories, or friends yearning for a peaceful getaway, this retreat is your gateway to adventure and relaxation. Spend your days exploring the natural wonders of the Swan River, Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park, then return to your retreat to unwind with the soothing soundtrack of the waves.

Here, every sunrise feels like a gift, and every evening brings the promise of unforgettable memories. Come, and let this magical place by the water weave its spell on you.

Guest Info:
House design: the house was renovated in two sections. You have full access to the front section, facing the Swan River including the internal deck for a great BBQ protected from the wind. The back of the building including the garage, are not for guest access. These are areas where the owners have all their belongings stored. But don’t worry, you won’t share the space with anyone else, the owners and their family won’t stay at the house while you are having your holiday here. Please refrain from trying to gain access to the garage or the upper building. Thanks.

 

From the family: Welcome to Joey’s Place!

We’re so happy to have you here! This house has been in our family since 1989 when we moved from Victoria to start a new chapter in Tasmania. It’s where our kids grew up, where countless memories were made, and where we still gather as a family today.

In late 2024, we gave the place a little refresh—designed with our kids and their families in mind, so they’d always have a cosy spot to come back to for the holidays. Now, we’re excited to share it with you!

Make yourself at home, relax, and enjoy your time here. We hope Joey’s Place feels just as warm and welcoming to you as it does to us.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us whilst you are on the East Coast.

The house is yours, make yourself at home!

The back of the building including the garage, are not for guest access. These areas are where the owner have all their belonging stored.

Please refrain from trying to gain access to the garage or the upper building. Thanks.

Guest parking: Once you are on the gate, you can park your car on the left-hand side of the building where the entrance to the house is, so you are just a few steps into your holiday house. There is plenty of room for two or three small cars.

Wi-Fi and TV: The house has NBN and a smart TV where you can log in into any of your personal accounts using your own credentials.

Internet access is provided for your convenience allowing general usage, checking of emails, and some standard streaming services. Internet can at times be intermittent or slow, this can be for several reasons including weather conditions, the number of users on the network, and exceeding your data allowance.

Drinking water: Here in Swanwick, we rely solely on rainwater to drink. We regularly monitor water levels and quality and while the rainwater is completely safe for us, you may prefer to boil the water from the tap before drinking.

Toilets and Septic: we operate on a septic system, so to avoid an overflowing toilet, please DO NOT place anything down the toilet other than loo paper. There are sanitary bags provided for anything else.

Checking out: The general rule is to leave it how you found it. Please place the key back in the lock box. Checkout is by 10 am unless arranged otherwise.

Please leave the sheets on the beds and put wet towels on the floor in the bathroom.

For safety reasons please ensure all heaters, fans, oven and cooktop, lights and air conditioning are switched off upon departure.

Please make sure the property is left how you found it and that dirty dishes are not left for the cleaner as this may incur an additional cleaning fee not covered in the original fee.

If anything breaks, is empty or you have a note about any issues, repairs, etc, please leave it out for us on the kitchen bench. It will help us so much.

We love sharing this place with you and appreciate any feedback to better the experience in the future.

Other appliance’ operator manuals are also found on this folder.

Our wildlife and birds: We have an eco-friendly property and encourage all our native wildlife. The best way to get close to them is to sit quietly and let them come to you – particularly our superb fairy wren family who lives here permanently. We have plenty of different birds as well as an occasional wallaby and echidna.

Please DO NOT hurt our blue tongue lizard. Watch out as it often sits on the drive so, please do not run it over! It is often about in summer and will not hurt you if you leave it alone, but it does have a nasty bite if you try to touch it.

However, if you see a rabbit –cute as they are- these are feral and cause damage to the surrounding bush. They have only moved in recently and feel free to scare these away!!!!

Coles Bay IGA is a short drive in Coles Bay. They have a good range of products, including wine.

Iluka Tavern has a bottle shop with a range of beverages.

Iluka Convenience is a short drive in Coles Bay, they have a petrol station, ice and a good range of products.
