The Bend Vineyard

Slow down and breathe the salty air; you’re on Swansea time now. Welcome to our peaceful seaside town, a local treasure with panoramic views over Freycinet in the heart of the East Coast’s wine region. Spacious, beachy chalets perch on grassy dunes, sheltered from the breeze and perfectly placed to catch the first rays of sun. You might just find our beautiful beach all to yourself.
