What guests think

At Bicheno by the Bay, travellers consistently praise the scenic coastal setting and walkable access to the blowhole, beaches, and town, along with spacious, self-contained cabins offering comfortable beds and many units with lovely sea or bay views.

Guests describe friendly, helpful staff, clear contactless check-in instructions, and prompt responses when issues arise. Common drawbacks include patchy or non-existent in-room Wi-Fi, some older or basic units with limited heating that feel cold in winter, and occasional housekeeping or maintenance misses. Overall, it suits travellers seeking relaxed, self-contained stays on the coast more than those who need modern finishes or reliable in-room Wi-Fi.

We love the chalet which is spacious and the cathedral ceiling made to room feel even bigger. We had a good night sleep. The was a wallaby in the front years and the sound of sea and the lovely penguins echoing in the starry sky was such a treat! The chalet is not new but very clean and the washing machine is a bonus! Minor point on the broken soap dish by the bath and no coffee for the encouraged me to go to the near by cafe, which is even better. Live the French influence of the eateries, I had fantastic dinner at Le Coq, and a wonderful breakfast at the fabulous bakery cafe . It’s a decent stay with all the basics covered, good value for money.

Absolutely loved our 2 night stay here. The king size bed was so comfortable and black out curtains were great. The bungalow had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were right on the road front and overlooked the blowholes. We were within walking distance to the town, whalers lookout and the gulch. It was a short drive back to Frecynet National Park. Service was excellent as we arrived on the public holiday but were kept up to date with opening times and how to access our rooms as we came in after the office had closed. This accommodation exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Bicheno by the Bay to anyone looking at exploring the region.

Bed was rock hard, but besides that it was a very nice place and nice location. Front desk lady was great, but there was not always someone at the desk. You could only get wifi by hanging out by the reception area. This was a big problem for us, since we were traveling internationally without an international phone.

this was a great property, really modern and high spec. Beautiful views. The doors to the outside were a concern as they automatically locked when you shut the door but with kids they could just easily open them from the inside and get outside. The front door at the bottom had a chain across but the door on the top floor (living space) went straight out onto a balcony and outside (a concern with a 3 yr old). Also on the dining table upon arrival was a collection of foods (noodles, timtams, local honey etc). We assumed it was a free starting pack but only once had opened the noodles and timtams did we see a very small price list under it all. not very clear and all very over-priced. so beware! We would definitely stay here again as a fantastic accommodation. Bicheno is a lovely, unspoilt place

Lovely little spot near the Bicheno Blow hole, and equally a short stroll into the township. The bungalow was clean and spacious, and offered us a nice little break away. Parking was a little tricky/ tight to get into, although there were plenty of other spots we could have used on the property ( we had a hire car that was a little wider than usual). Loved seeing the penguins and the locals are very friendly.
