What guests think

Across many reviews, Beachfront Bicheno is praised for its convenient coastal location and renovated, comfortable rooms—often with sea views—while feedback also notes thin walls, occasional maintenance or hot water issues, and limited in-room kitchen amenities.

Most guests highlight friendly, helpful staff, though reception hours and responsiveness can be inconsistent. Cleanliness is frequently rated highly, but older carpets, dust, and sporadic ants are reported. Facilities include an attached tavern and pool, yet the pool’s condition and the coin laundry are hit-and-miss, and on-site breakfast is absent with dining options closing early. Expect a straightforward, comfortable motel suited to short coastal stopovers.

Fantastic beachside hotel in a great location. Check in was quick and easy, staff were lovely and so helpful. The room was modern, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The Long Boat Tavern is a must visit. Food and service was 10/10. Highly recommended. Bicheno is a gorgeous place to visit.

Had a 2 night stay there. Room was comfortable. Bathroom was pretty new. Parking in front of the room. Laundry needs an update. Machines are really outdated. Washing machine and dryer need coins, 2x2 AUD each. For breakfast are cups and glasses in the room. Plates and cuttlery are missing.

Very disappointed to find the pool was closed. We were told it was closed for maintenance, when we arrived. But taking one look at it and it was obvious, that it had been closed all summer . The pool was absolutely covered in slime.

The property is unassuming from outside but absolutely divine inside. The room appeared to be recently renovated, with a massive king bed, heaps of PowerPoints, a lovely bathroom and nice lighting. It is next door to a bistro which also does room service. The blinds are blockout which is nice, the only downside was the soundproofing left a bit to be desired. All in all though, a great room for a great price.

The location was excellent, perfect for what we needed. The room was spacious and clean. We could park right Infront of our room, which made unloading/loading luggage very easy. Our only problem was checking in. We advised the time we would arrive, as we knew there was a limited window for check in. When we arrived another guest was being helped, so we waited patiently. The staff member finished up and walked back into the building without acknowledging us. I was abit perplexed. Walked to the door, knocked and was very abruptly told to go to the restaurant/bar in ten minutes to check in. We waited in our car. I went over to the bar, waited around, several staff (including the same lady) saw me and never said anything. I finally walked up to the bar and check in was really simple. Apart from that, everything was great

Room was clean and tidy with lovely view of the ocean. Light over bathroom basin was flickering which was quite annoying. Tavern attached to the property was horrible. A hugh caverous space with the ambience of Bunnings. Boring menu. Fri and Sat night we were subjected to a thumping disco. So not appropriate for a place attached to accomodation.
