Southerlys is a quiet and clean house . Describing it as a Beachfront luxury though is a bit of a stretch. The house needs a bit of TLC in certain areas, like her window coverings and a bit of dusting as well. The beach at the time when we were there was not conducive to swimming as it was covered with black moss like substance. We drove somewhere else to enjoy the beach as the weather was beautiful in Feb. Swansea was a bit quiet , an not sure whether it gets busy on school holidays. Very limited restaurants. Louise though gave us a thorough brief on the surrounding areas which were very useful. If I were to visit the area again, I think I would stay at Bicheno instead. We enjoyed visiting Devil’sCorner winery and Freycinet.
