The Shepherd’s Cottage is one of three stone, convict-built houses on the Lisdillon vineyard and sheep property at Little Swanport. It is accessed via a rough dirt track, but once there you have everything you need for a comfortable stay, except food which can be purchased at shops in towns 20-30k up or down the coast. We loved the outlook over paddocks, Little Swanport Rivulet and the ocean beyond. I took an early morning dip at the private beach and the water midsummer was bearable without a wetsuit. The drive up to Freycinet NP, which was of particular interest to us, was a little further than we expected and there is a dearth of restaurants actually open nearby, so mostly we cooked our own meals. Lots of games and books, as well as walks around the property, would keep stay-at-homes well entertained. Overall, this was a very special stay, utterly relaxing, and even though we did not have easy access to the national park and restaurants, we still managed to enjoy ourselves very much!
