Family-friendly vacation rentals in Swansea

The Farm Pod is an absolute gem. Everything looks and feels handpicked or handmade, from the decor to the tasty muesli. With a peerless, rural setting it is accommodation not to be missed, especially if you might enjoy a hot tub under the stars.

Nel and Lorne are absolutely fantastic ppl! Their place is clean, easy to reach, close to a lot of attractions (also right on the beach- we saw a seal on one of the days!), supermarkets and a great playground are just 10 mins drive. very comfortable beds. Great shower. kitchen has everything you would need for a short or a long stay. above all, Nel and Lorne are fantastic hosts. We felt right at home. Nel baked fresh bread for us ! She even invited our kids for breakfast one of the days ! She especially came down to let us know about the seal swimming in the ocean right in front of the house. extremely kind, thoughtful and helpful hosts! we can't recommend their place enough! we will surely be back :)

Fantastic! My partner and I really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, comfortable and everything we needed. The hot tub and view was amazing. Would definitely recommend this stay.

Perfect location, service and communication, spectacular view - highly recommend to families and big friend groups. thanks brian for instant communication!

From the moment you step through the front gate of this charming historic terrace house, you feel like you have gone back in time. This spotless property is located a stones throw from downtown Hobart. Warm comfy beds, a full equipped kitchen and a hot shower - we had a perfect stay. Thank you Russell and Ingrid.

What a great stay we had in North Hobart! The house was spacious, warm and perfect for six adults and two toddlers. Tom and Cate were super communicative and helpful, we would gladly stay again in a heartbeat.

Lovely, unique and cosy place with everything we needed. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. It was nice meeting the actual gardener, who gave us some great local tips! This will be a place we remember.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Hosts were so kind and we enjoyed the nice touches like fresh bread, fruit, and juice. The space was spotless and perfect for our family of five. We walked to and from the downtown area. It’s on a hill but still very walkable. Enjoyed dinner at the Chowk, Nepalese pub which is five minutes away. Great place to stay! Thank you!

Fred's house (hosted by Steve) is an amazing place to stay! this is our 5th time staying and second Christmas in this beautiful cosy family and dog friendly house. I love the different living spaces, the well stocked kitchen, the lovely outside deck and bbq on sunny afternoons. Steve is an excellent host who is always friendly, welcoming and really quick to respond. Thanks again I am sure we will be back.

There were three generations staying in this lovely cottage. Everybody had a spacious room. The cottage was very well equipped with spare pillows, blankets, kitchen appliances (incl microwave) and extra condiments, coffee of all kinds etc. I walked every morning in the area, very peaceful and lots of flowers in the gardens. Great park just 2 blocks away. 10 min walk to the main street with shops and cafes. 10 min by car to CBD and really EASY drive via HWY... It is a central location for travelling further out of Hobart. There was a collection of books and enormous collection of DVDs. We had a great time and I would stay there again.

Great host. Always nice coming back to this place.

Very happy with the place. Lovely charm and plenty of things to do.

Such a wonderful stay, peaceful beautiful surroundings for all of us including our Labrador Gypsy. Amazing hosts cannot recommend more highly! We will be back again thank you so much Jon and Christine amazing week long stay ☺️☺️☺️

Hounds Inn was exactly what my family were after, close to shops and restaurants. Easy walk to CBD. Centrally located to Hobart attractions too. Easy no fuss check in. Clean and functional house and amenities.

Calm and quiet place for family with young kids.

A lovely and very well priced stay in the beachside town of Dodges Ferry. Local shop has good variety of food if you forget something from Sorell supermarket, also a daily supply of fresh bread from yummy Hobart bakeries. The local cafes near Park Beach serve decent coffee, and the beaches are lovely in all weather. The main bedroom is lovely but very light in the mornings if you are a light sleeper, also no wall between main bedroom and kitchen/lounge area- very open and airy which has its pros and cons. Not a problem, just something to be aware of as may not suit everyone. Excellent sunken 'den' and room with double bed, which our teen loved. We visited in Autumn and had a lot of fun, would be a great place to stay at in summer too. We would would stay here again if looking for accommodation in the area.

Perfection. Attention to detail- even in the kitchen…we had all the dishes and utensils necessary to cook like a chef at the house! There are even pantry items there- so check on that before running to the grocery store in town because we bought doubles in some things. I’m sure the selections in the pantry will vary. In addition, there may be garden produce ready for the picking!! Make sure and check with the host first- that will be seasonal, I’m sure. Beds are comfortable, showers have hot water, tub with jets is helpful after a day of sight-seeing. As owner notes, it isn’t hot, just warm…but it was still a good experience. Decks overlook bay/ocean- you get to witness the changing colors of the Hazards throughout the day standing over the bay. And if you are wondering- we saw amazing Aurora lights out over the water! Windows everywhere! Just incredible’views- there are no words. And you boy minutes from Swansea. Host has a book with restaurant suggestions. Grocery.❤️

Jodi's apartment is at the best location, vrry close to a great cafe, grocery stores, bus stop and moonah shops. Best thing is private car parking which is hard to find with other air bnb places. You can view beautiful mount Wellington from the bedrooms, and living room gets cozy by sunshine during the day. Jodi was kind enough to give us quick tour of the house on checking-in, and also let us stay an extra hour before checking out. Thank you Jodi for letting us stay at your lovely place.

Great location for family or friends to get together. Literally walk out the door onto a beautiful beach. Plenty of outdoor amenities available incl swimming pool, tennis, basketball hoop, billiards, kayaks etc. Quiet and peaceful area, but close to airport and to Hobart so very convenient. Great communication from Julie in advance who also met us on arrival and showed us in. Thank you for a great stay.

A lovely stay at Merrydith and Rob's home. Great communication and personalised check in, really appreciated the welcome pack and the hosts were super attentive throughout our stay. A lovey home - Highly recommend for a visit to Hobart!

We stayed for 3 nights and it was great. The location next to the river was beautiful. The cottage contained everything we could wish for and was very comfortable.

The stay was exactly what we wanted, cosy apartment for two with a bedroom each. The kitchen was everything we needed and extremely functional. The passcode entry was perfect as we didn’t need to worry about forgetting keys or making sure someone was always there when the other was out. Jodi and Lindsay were extremely responsive and conversations always felt personal as they were invested in why we travelled to Tasmania.

The house is beautiful and comfortable for two small families. A prefect location and view, being close to Exeter for all your extra needs. The pool looked inviting but unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side to enjoy it. We appreciated the ample amount of coffee pods being provided and the wine bar which we didn’t require but a great idea.

The lodge was perfect for our extended family weekend, it’s not fancy but ideal and safe for young children. 2 living areas, a big kitchen and enough seating for everyone including an outdoor steaming the garage and a furious with wood supplied. The facilities at the estate were great and kept the adults and kids busy and entertained. Tash was a wonderful host
