Schouten House

Schouten House is a heritage listed home, rich in history and a well-known landmark on Tasmania's East Coast. Built in 1844 as an inn, it is one of the first substantial buildings to appear in Swansea when the township was being established around a military base on Waterloo Point.

Now a comfortable bed and breakfast offering traditional accommodation, and a warm welcome, it is an excellent place to call home while you explore the coast and Freycinet Peninsula, or just as a relaxing getaway.

Hearty cooked breakfasts, including options such as scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, or the popular pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, are included for all guests.

If you're looking for quality restaurant-style eating year-round, Swansea also boasts some of the finest eateries you'll find anywhere - check the website for links or ask them for recommendations. If you like history, peace and good food, Swansea and Schouten House are well worth a visit.
