There are places that invite you to visit, and there are places that invite you to stay. At 144 Swanwick Drive, the horizon opens wide across Great Oyster Bay, the light moves softly from dawn to dusk, and every element has been intentionally designed to deepen your connection to sea, sky and self.

Set on the shoreline in Coles Bay on Tasmania’s remarkable East Coast, this architecturally designed residence has been reimagined with uncompromising attention to detail. Conceived as a Nordic spa escape inspired by the Danish philosophy of hygge, it has been purposefully crafted to offer warmth, calm and a profound sense of retreat in every season.

Currently operating as a premium short stay accommodation under its own dedicated website and booking platform, Still at Freycinet has established itself as a refined and exclusive destination. Guests travel from across Australia and beyond, drawn by the beauty of the region and the promise of an experience far removed from the ordinary.

From the moment you step inside, the design intention is unmistakable. The open plan kitchen, living and dining space unfolds with ease, anchored by premium Tasmanian timbers and a curated selection of the state’s finest materials and makers. This is a showcase of craftsmanship and quiet luxury, celebrating natural textures and thoughtful design. It is a place to gather, share local seafood and East Coast wines, and linger as colour drains gently from the bay.

Three generous bedrooms each feature a beautifully appointed ensuite, offering privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. A separate powder room adds convenience, while a second sitting room or study provides a contemplative space to read, work or watch the changing light on the water.

Outdoors, the experience becomes elemental. The expansive deck reaches towards Great Oyster Bay, creating a seamless transition between interior warmth and coastal air. At its heart sits the bespoke sauna, handcrafted by Brad Cleary of Schweiss Saunas. This is the soul of the home, a ritual space where heat, timber and ocean views converge. Evenings begin in warmth and end with a cool sea breeze at the shoreline.

Step beyond the deck and feel the sand underfoot. Launch a kayak at sunrise. Watch dolphins trace the curve of the bay. This is absolute beachfront living in its purest form.
A double carport provides practical ease, while the true distinction of this property lies in its rare combination of architectural integrity and uninterrupted coastal frontage. The home’s design excellence has been recognised nationally, having featured on Dream Homes Revealed.

Just minutes away, the granite peaks and coastal trails of Freycinet National Park await exploration. Yet it is the stillness on your own deck, the warmth of the sauna and the enduring sense of considered design that define life here.

For those seeking an architecturally significant coastal home, a purpose built Nordic spa retreat or a proven accommodation offering, Still at Freycinet represents a rare convergence of vision, craftsmanship and position. This is not simply a place to stay. It is a place created to be experienced.
