Property is a hidden gem, rooms not the most modern but very spacious & clean. Lady at check in (Jenny) was lovely & very helpful. Bonus was that we got to see some penguins at night as well, Oliver & Alexandria were wonderful hosts to take us down to see the Penguins.

Room was basic but fine. Owner / front desk friendly. Waitress for dinner was friendly and helpful. Food was average and shared areas lacking in any atmosphere and a strong smell of paint. Appreciated the shared guest laundry. Overall was ok for a night on our journey but I would not have stayed for longer. Note this is next door to penguin tour but had to drive back into town to catch shuttle bus so not really a benefit being close by.

Great location lovely surroundings. I feel the property needs a bit of a revamp. Penguin viewing was a bit disappointing. We are not allowed on the beach after dark which we were not advised when booking accommodation.

No restaurant so had to go back into town, which is a drive, for breakfast. Did have cooking facilities but not worth it for one night. Other than that access to own beach was wonderful and rooms were neat, clean and well maintained.

Beautiful beachside comfort

Incredible location - looks out to sea, close access to a superb beach. Kids loved the sheep paddock next door, rabbits marauding on the lawn and the little penguins did not disappoint. Gorgeous bedding, and bedrooms have great light. Not ideal with small children - there is a long flight of stairs to the upstairs bedroom, the front door slams with great force. Limited groceries available in Bicheno, but the Lobster Shack took good care of us.
