Find Hotels in Bicheno, Australia

we were absolutely delighted with our accomodation at bicheno east coast holiday park. the cabin was beautifully clean, spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. conveniently located within walking distance to a well stocked supermarket for supplies, and riight next door to the departure point for the bicheno penguin tours. we had excellent friendly and helpful service. bookings were made by the proprietor for a penguin tour at late notice. i do not hesitate to highly recommend this accomodation for the overnight traveller or for those who wish to spend some time in this stunning area with so many attractions. (please note we stayed in a self contained cabin, so food and dining rating is n/a)

I really enjoyed my stay at this motel. I stayed in many motels during my Australia trip and this was by far the best. The room I was in had clearly been recently remodeled to a very nice standard. The heat lamps in the bathroom were an especially nice touch for chilly mornings. The couple who runs it were very helpful recommending places to eat and helping us book tickets. Bicheno is a great base for exploring this area of Tassie and the Wintersun Gardens is a convenient location.

Everything was fine with the room, it's clean, the bed is comfy, the kitchen is stocked with most things you could need, but be advised there is no wifi in the room. Only in public areas. I also want to share that if you opt to use the hotel's platform for penguin viewing, you cannot see them come up from the beach (if this matters to you). Some birds will walk past the platform on their way to their nest (most birds nest in the rookery just adjacent to the hotel, but some birds nest wherever they like, and sometimes that's in the middle of the small roundabout at the end of the drive). You will see penguins. But the formal tour from in town brings you back to this property, has access to view the penguins as they come up from the beach, and has access to the rookery on crown lands, which hotel guests do not during the evening time the penguins are most active. If management tries to convince you otherwise, at least get a second opinion from the formal tour. As it happened, we had booked the formal tour first, and accommodation second. We didn't go into town just to catch the shuttle back to the hotel, instead we joined the tour down at the beach gate, but make sure you discuss this with the tour company so they know to expect you there. We were thrilled with the formal tour experience, and highly recommend it, especially if you only have one night in Bicheno. And if you are staying on the hotel property, you can hear the penguins chattering amongst themselves throughout the night from your room. It's not a disturbing volume, but I would wake up a little at times, hear them, smile to myself and go back to sleep.

We arrived at this lovely spot in the middle of nowhere after a long day's drive from Hobart to a charming welcome and were shown to our 'beachhut', which turned out to be an extremely well-equiped and comfortable cottage in the dunes. We spent two delightful days there, only going out to shop for dinner to cook at home, much more relaxing than the restaurants in Bicheno about 10 km away. The cottage has an attractive veranda from which we watched the birds, the rabbits and the wallabies eating the grass in front. It's a short walk from a beautiful beach on which we walked for hours never meeting another person. There are a couple of seats pearched on the dunes from which you have the ocean view for which the cottage is named. That was my only disappointment, there was a dune top spoiling my view of the ocean!

Firstly, thank you for the warmest arrangement from Tom. We supposed to arrive at the apartment at about 3pm but end up we arrived at 5:15pm due to traffic issue. Upon we arrived, Tom was waiting for us there. He was so thoughtful, he turned on the heater in advance in the apartment for us. He also gave us a discount on the rental. When we booked the apartment via Agoda, it was AUD420 per night, but Tom was giving us some discount when I paid him on arrival. The apartment had 2 layers with 3 bedrooms and 2 toilets which were absolutely clean and tidy. The kids were so happy, keep playing with the stairs inside the apartment. The shower was great and the water pressure was gorgeous. If you are planning to stay in Bicheno, I do recommend you contact Tom for rental who may definitely assist you in finding an apartment.

Amazing sea view, whole apartment with 3 bedrooms and a functional kitchen and living room. Located very near Bicheno glass bottom boat, Bicheno blowhole and fantastic blue edge bakery. Came with laundry and dryer which was soooo helpful for us travelers. The driveway took some maneuvering, and there were quite some steps up to the apartment but that’s ok. Just take note if you booked for only 2 adults, they expect you not to use the other beds in the apartment.

Instead of staying in the expensive hotels Freycinet national park area, I decide to stay in Bicheno. I left Hobart early in the morning to do the Wineglass bay walk before continuing to Bicheno, I still had a time to have a rest and a dinner in the hotel before going to see the penguins. The hotel is a short walking distance from the Bicheno Penguin tours. Though the hotel is located across the main road from the ocean, the road is not very busy and I was still able to enjoy the ocean terrace views.

Do yourself a favour - skip staying at Coles Bay and stay at Bicheno instead! We stayed "Charm on Douglas" within Bicheno Apartments for a fraction of the price. What we got was an entire (gorgeous) cottage a short drive from the Apartments themselves. It was an easy trip from the cottage to the Penguin Tours and local coastal attractions. We'll definitely be looking up Steve and Sandy when we're next in Bicheno!
