If a restful holiday is part of your travel plans, Friendly Beaches might be the perfect place to visit during your trip to Friendly Beaches. While you're in the area, wander around the parks.
The communication from Bicheno by the Bay was exceptional, making our check-in and checkout very simple (even considering we arrived after their reception had closed). We were given a larger room than we had booked, which was really lovely. It was well appointed with all the amenities we needed. It's situated in a great location close to all the local attractions and facilities (like the IGA). They provided a map of the local area and recommendations for where to go.
We would happily stay here...

From receiving a personal greeting and garden tour from our host, the romantic and cute cottage accommodation, to the spectacular views from the deck at the back, we were highly impressed with this accommodation- particularly as it is a new listing and was recently purchased. It is obvious that the hosts have placed much love, time and effort in the attention to detail even with small things such as having an oil burner with lavender scent. The bed was very comfortable and it was the best sleep...

Views across the water from each suite are exquisite with opportunities for walks along the water's edge.
The daily credit toward dining at the restaurant was really useful as the food quality is excellent

Quiet little motel at the end of town. Immaculately maintained gardens. Smaller size room but everything you need. Bathroom looks like it had just been renovated and rooms were freshly painted/carpet. Staff were very friendly.

We enjoyed our stay in the villa so much. The villa is nice and clean with all amenities available for us. The view is fantastic for sunset. The breakfast is simple but good. Can definitely feel staff’s’ dedication from the freshness of foods and set out of the dining room. The staff is very friendly and sweet. I hope all the best to this resort. And I will return if I go to Coles bay again.

Great secluded location. Lots of walks to do nearby.
Unfortunately the refrigerator in the room running was very loud at night making it difficult to sleep.

We spent a night here preparing for a visit to Freycinet and were very pleased with the friendly welcome and lovely view.
Keep in mind that Wotif displays motel distances from your desired destination in a slightly deceptive fashion:
If you type in "Freycinet" for example, Wotif will show Swansea motel options as being only 25 km away however that is the crow flies - it's actually 65 kms drive to get around the bay. Perhaps Wotif could refine their distance measurements to reflect more...

Spent 5 days at Swansea, with sunshine & rain. Had walks on the beach, paid a visit just out of town to Kate's Berry Farm for great gluten free crepes & fresh berries. Took a drive up to the Bay of Fires & Coles Bay, beautiful scenery. When it rained grabbed a coffee & read a book, very relaxing. The locals were so happy for the rain.

stayed here for 1 night. didnt realise the check in was only until 8 or 8 30. The onsite manager was kind to give me a bit more time to arrive. I didnt use any common facilities, not sure if ther are any. No issues with parking, was very quiet, nice view. The room was old-ish but well maintained - no smell, everything was working. good view, ocean breeze. Easy to check in and out.

What is the best area to stay in Friendly Beaches?
The best area to stay in Friendly Beaches is within the Friendly Beaches National Park itself, offering direct access to the stunning coastline.
This area is characterised by its unspoiled natural beauty, with long stretches of white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and unique rock formations. Accommodation here typically consists of eco-friendly lodges or holiday homes designed to blend with the natural surroundings. It's a place where you can truly switch off and appreciate the remarkable Tasmanian wilderness.
For couples seeking a romantic and secluded getaway, staying within the National Park is ideal. You'll find opportunities for private beach walks at sunrise or sunset, wildlife spotting, and simply enjoying the tranquility. Many lodges offer luxurious amenities like private decks with ocean views and high-end fitness equipment, superb for a relaxing escape.
Families will also find the National Park a wonderful choice. The calm, shallow waters are suitable for children, and the expansive beaches provide ample space for games and exploration.
When is the best time to go to Friendly Beaches?
The best time to go to Friendly Beaches is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the coast.
During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 23°C, with plenty of sunshine hours. This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the walking tracks that wind through the coastal heathlands and along the beaches. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to relax and take in the stunning scenery.
For those who prefer a slightly milder climate and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are pleasant, typically between 12°C and 18°C, and the natural landscape is particularly beautiful, with wildflowers blooming in spring and rich colours in autumn.
