“Romantic retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2011

After 4 nights in Hong Kong staying here was a wonderful and much needed shock to the system. The accommodation comprises a handful of well-maintained, beautifully designed, privately detached wooden houses/chalets arranged within verdant bush, with an allotment and assorted wildlife a few metres back from low, rocky coastline. It is several minutes drive south of the modern village of Bicheno which has food shops, restaurants, a bar, and a very good pharmacist. Altogether an excellent place, and we did not want to leave.

“A gorgeous spot with weloming hosts, confortable accomodation and plentiful wildlife”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

Our family of two adults and two children stayed in these lovely cabins for three nights and had a wonderful time. We could have stayed longer. We stayed in chalet 4 wich was light, airy and had everything we needed, including a coffee machine thanks to the owner Nick, who very kindly lent us his own after the original one in the chalet went kapput. The chalets front onto a lovely view and a beach walk / rock hop round to the town. Like others, we were charmed with the wallabies, peacock and peahens, and other assorted wildlife. Bicheno was a great base to Freycinet National Park.

“We did not want to leave this gorgeous setting”

Having spent July in fabulous permanent tent accomodation in the Kimberleys, W.A. this cabin looked like a pleasant reminder. We were not disappointed! I requested and got a cabin with a view of the sea. Sitting in the main room or balcony was a treat. The peacocks, wallabies and possums that visited daily added to the experience. You would need a car to stay here as it is a little out of town, but only a couple of minutes with transport. The owners were lovely and were happy to share vegetables from their garden, books and DVDs. Would definitely recommend.

“Heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

These cabins are just fabulous. Set away from the main town they are perfect for a get a way from a hectic life but close enough to enjoy exploring the region. The hosts are delightful and couldn't be more welcoming. Our cabin was clean and tidy with plenty of kitchen facilities etc.
The wildlife is amazing, coming right on to the decking and the sunsets are out of this world.
This is one of the best places I've stayed at.

“Getaway Gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

A perfect little hideaway for our family, including our 2 teenage girls. The on-site wildlife was totally diverting, including the peahen and peachicks that decided our welcome mat was their roosting spot. The coastal walk is not to be missed, and starts right from the chalets. Bicheno itself is wonderful. If you haven't seen the penguins, this is the place to see them from. The local bakery, butcher, and grocers will make you want to use your kitchen every meal. If you don't mind informal accommodations, you might find it as perfect as we did. I wish we had stayed longer.
