10/10 Excellent
"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."

Diamond Island Resort & Penguin viewing

8/10 Good
"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"

10/10 Excellent
"We have already recommended this amazing home to family visiting Freycinet next year. It’s far enough out of town (1 minute drive) to be super quiet and close enough to easily go for a great dinner at Geographe and to get supplies for the shops. A very quick drive to the Freycinet walks too. The house is incredibly clean and spacious and well appointed. And the view the Hazard mountain from the lounge and the deck are mind blowing. We will miss this place"
