This review is written by Laurie's husband, Mike, who stayed at Swansea house with his mother, Barbara.

What a lovely spot! Swansea House is ideally located, up at the higher end of Noyes Street, from where we could see Great Oyster Bay from the large back deck as well as some of the town. Swansea House is an older home (1940s perhaps) that is tastefully decorated (very comfortable beds, and warm bedrooms courtesy of small space heaters), with a fireplace in the family room. Large windows in the family room allow welcome breezes inside. The kitchen, while small, is very functional (microwave, large fridge), but the charm comes from the airiness and views from the family room and the back deck, from where we could see sheep and some darting rabbits. Catherine is a fine host: the instructions on arrival were clear, and Catherine provided a well-stocked folder of information about staying in Swansea House and about the town of Swansea, and surrounding areas including the Freycinet Peninsula. A lovely spot. We'll be back.
