Great location, great staff, clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and come back and stay.

Location, clean, friendly and the penguin viewing.

A broom and dust pan and brush in the room would have been great.

Such a beautiful spot, has everything you need. Short stroll to the beach. Very roomy and comfortable accommodation. Bonus of the local wildlife (penguins, wallabies and a wombat) Thankyou for a relaxing stay, we will be back.

The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were well appointed and made us feel at home.

The location is splendid. It was wonderful to see the penguins actually on the property.

Nothing.

Restaurant needs a major overhaul

Room was nice enough. Strong freshly painted smell. Rough paint job going over door handles and tiles. Furniture a little mismatched. Bed alright. Beach area very nice.

Restaurant food was terrible. All dishes ordered were as if they had reheated very old food, from the old bread, the tough so-called slow cooked beef to the old dry desserts. The penguin experience is not worth staying here for, you don't get to the main show on the beach, instead a platform behind the main nesting area where you may or may not get a glimpse of a penguin.

Fabulous location, very friendly staff who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

We booked a 4 person room then I requested a ground floor room as we were travelling with elderly parents. The property manager contacted us and advised there were no ground floor rooms for 4 people so they provided 2 x 2 person rooms, one directly upstairs from the other, at no additional costs. Very generous.

The 'complimentary' penguin tour was very appealing for us and as such we did not join other paying tours anywhere else around Tasmania knowing this tour was included. Unfortunately, on the night of our tour, our little furry friends were not interested in appearing for us! Had we known the tour booked through other providers in town was in a different location/operated by a different company, we would have booked with them to view the penguins earlier in the night as well as attending the complimentary tour. We have no complaints about the complimentary tour as no-one can predict wildlife behaviour, but if promotion included information about different viewing opportunities, that would have been helpful.

A beautiful location and great facilities.

Great location. On-site facilities (restaurant, recreation room etc) were good. Great view of the beach from the room. Room had good kitchen facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The penguins were the highlight - just needed to be patient to see them.

We booked for three - two adults and a child. However, the crockery, cutlery etc were only for two. Some maintenance needed in the room eg bathroom door didn’t close properly, toilet ran.

Pleasant enough but a little disappointed.

The location was fabulous. Close to the beach and other local activities. Restaurant food was quite good.

The property was a little on the tired side. It definitely needs some TLC to help make it a great place to stay in Bicheno.

great location and clean

location, room was clean, great views. not that we had our daughter or had a dog, heaps of room for kids to play outside and dog friendly walked to the island and back. saw 🐧 🐧 🐧

wasn't a fan of the menu nothing to our liking the staff member who organised the penguin viewing needs to be educated on penguins. not give out two torches and then no instructions, letting people make noise and let people wander around with kids making noise. for those that know anything about the little guys, people need to be quiet and not shine torches on them. it's a privilege to be able to see them in their natural way of life at night. not to scare them away.

Great location facilities need some TLC

Location was lovely!

The penguin show is non existent! I booked paying extra because it’s said there is an included show. We waited til 10pm and one penguin came past. It should not be advertised as a free penguin tour there is no tour.

Overpriced

Beachfront location was great

More expensive than other hotels but thought it was worthwhile as it included the penguins. They no longer watch the penguins come up the beach, instead you stand on a platform up from the beach. We failed to see any penguins & the staff member was unable to answer questions & made it clear he didn’t want to be there. Very disappointing
