About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Independent holiday unit

This large unit consists of a combined kitchen / living area and 2 adjoining bedrooms, with one set up as a "double" and the other with a set of bunk beds for the kids. In addition there is a 3 person bunk module in the living area, so up to 6 can be accommodated with prior notice.

Everything is provided for your stay, all bedding & towels, toiletries, microwave, refrigerator, a full range of kitchen utensils and cookware plus free Wi Fi and a new Smart TV.

The unit adjoins a very pleasant garden with a BBQ area, and if you need a bit of solitude or a quiet glass of wine, the gazebo will be just perfect. The 2nd bedroom also has access to an outdoor deck.

Conveniently located, the beach, hotel, RSL and shopping centre are only 6 minutes walking distance.

A separate street and unit entrance provides complete privacy and there is ample parking available.

Lovely little property with beautiful garden
Our family of two adults and three teen boys (15, 15, 14) had a lovely two night stay here. Our host was very welcoming and knowledgeable on the area, and great with communication before our arrival. A perfect base to explore Freycinet National Park and all things in and around Bicheno 😊

Spent 4 enjoyable nights at Bicheno
This is very good value accommodation near to the centre of Bicheno but still very quiet. Exactly as described in the listing with the added bonus of access to Netflix. Excellent support from the owner. Would stay again if we visit Bicheno in the future.
