Hamptons on the Bay

The East Coast


This former Japanese restaurant complex has been reborn as tasteful clifftop cabin accommodation, with black-painted floorboards, top-of-the-line beds and sunrise views over Freycinet Peninsula. Sea eagles circle overhead, whales and dolphins cavort offshore and there's a private rocky beach at the bottom of the cliffs. It's 12km south of Swansea. Reduced winter rates.

Hamptons also offers a three-bedroom house, from $800 for up to six people.
