Having stayed at this property before, I was eager to show my husband what I had remembered as a wonderful experience. In the two years since that stay this supposed 4 star property has become, very tierd and run down. Fittings, television and especially the beds in the room needed to be replaced. It was not clean, the microwave having... more

So we arrived on a Sunday night around 8pm to total darkness, no reception or idea how to get our key! We knocked on the door of the nearest house..not sure who answered but he told us that there would be a letter on the restaurant door informing us what room we were in. That was the only person we... more

Kabuki by the sea was magnificent. The view is excellent and the food is good. It is mainly Japanese theme but it also serves Davenshire tea. We are lucky enough to be acquainted to the owner Terry and Michi. Both are very friendly, with Terry the most affable one. Apprently they have been they running the premise themselves for over... more

It's true, the views are spectacular, but everything else about Kabuki By The Sea is merely ordinary. Like the previous reviewer, I was disappointed. The supposed "Ryokan terraces" are really just basic cabins dressed up with some Japanese-themed decorations. Don't expect anything fancy. The furnishings, the fittings, and the amenities are all of the lowest quality, right down to the... more

We struck a very busy week for self-contained accommodation along the east coast of Tasmania and we were forced to take the only available room within a reasonable distance of Wineglass Bay which was our intended destination. Kabuki by the Sea consists of a group of cottages furnished on a Japanese theme, some 12 km south of Swansea. The cottages... more

Second time I have stayed at Kabuki; this time as part of our honeymoon. Kabuki is a bit of a breath of fresh air if you are getting a bit sick of colonial style accom in Tasmania... There is a Japanese restaurant overseeing the ocean which is pretty impressive. The food is probably a bit 'rustic' for Japanese cuisine connosseiurs... more

We have been driving past Kabuki for the last five years promising ourselves a visit one day and finally got there. Our expectations of Kabuki by the sea were high! Being Tasmanians we had heard that the meals were excellent at the restaurant ! With some trepidation we booked the package deal including a three course meal and accommodation. The... more

I had booked the hotel via phone approximately 2 months before the arrival date. We arrived to find our lovely self contained cottage was exactly as it appeared in the magazine with a great view over the water and well maintained amenities. I had booked for three nights and the first two nights accomodation went fine. On arriving back to... more

Kabuki by the Sea is located at Rocky Hills, 10 minutes from Swansea or just over an hour from Hobart, Tasmania. The views are extensive of Great Oyster Bay. It is a handy location to set out to explore Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park (the famous Wineglass Bay). A car is really needed to explore the areas it would... more
