Such a beautiful place. An impromptu getaway was simply perfect thanks to Bernadette and Swan Lake House staff. Beautiful view, service and facilities. Catered to my fussy diet even with less than 1hours notice of our booking. Thank you so much!

The property is neat and clean on the first day, but if you are staying more than one day, you have to stay in the dirty room with no housekeeping. No Bin, no iron, no table, no hair dryer, no microwave for the food; the photo on the website for breakfast is fake, and the view is not real apart from the lounge. 1947 old style TV, not internet is working; if you are paying $1000 for two nights, then its not worth while, host is nice, but amenities are below average.

A personal touch
This is a very warm and homely, B&B type experience. The hosts are very experienced and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The bedroom is designed to be fairly basic but comfortable sleeping space, however the large and inviting lounge area is very much part of their hospitality that guests are encouraged to use. The views and grounds are a real highlight of the property. This would suit people looking for a personal, B&B experience hosted by owner/occupiers. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great for visiting Penguin Parade
A great place to stay for a trip to Phillip Island. Swan Lake Guest House is walking distance to the Penguin Parade and a short drive to a lot of the other landmarks. We were warmly welcomed and our room was comfortable. Watching the wallabies from our balcony in the evening was a nice extra.
Swan Lake is a beautiful property in a unique area of Victoria.

Lovely host, spotlessly clean, beautiful breakfast, beautiful views. No kettle in the room was frustrating, no toilet roll holder odd but not a problem. Bernadette a delightful host.
