"What a great location, on the beach looking across the bay to Freycinet. Close to many great wineries and Cole’s Bay. We stocked up at the supermarket (IGA), with a great pub at the end of the street (walking distance). Such a great place to chill with a new beach seemingly around every corner or over every hill is another beautiful beach. Great spot to base and explore the Cole’s Bay region."

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was breathtaking and the walking areas were stunning for nature lovers like me. I his would be the best comfortable stay in Bicheno that you can get The bed was slightly uncomfortable in terms of the price we paid . The advertised penguin viewing is underwhelming and the best viewing areas were cordoned off in the evening leading to 5-6 penguins maximum available for viewing. Ideally , this should be open for resort guests as this is too close to the venue and we have paid premium for the stay . The other operator has a monopoly and we are stuck if we cannot get the booking from that operator"
