It’s amazing to stay in a heritage listed property while the house still meets most of the needs of a family. It’d be better if the host could let us know the actual address earlier as the address on Expedia is not the place we stayed. We got the SMS with the correct address after going to the wrong place. Also it’d be great if fly-screens can be installed to the windows at the kitchen area.

Lovely setting in the trees, nice to sit out and have a coffee on the verandah in the morning. Was a little out of town so arriving in the dark was not ideal. Very clean and cosy, with comfortable bed. Only downside was the noise from the upstairs guests - footsteps were very loud

The property was surprisingly large and in a lovely bush setting and Bicheno is a beautiful place. We had an issue with an out door light in the apartment below us that was faulty and flashed all night constantly like a strobe light keeping us awake. Informed cleaning staff but it wasn’t sorted so we moved into an alternate bedroom for the next night. The deck is unsafe for visiting children. We would have informed the manager/ receptionist but it was a drop off box for the key on the morning of the departure.

Bicheno is a lovely welcoming community. Proprietor (sorry I've forgotten your name!), was so helpful, map she gave us in our key package for finding this Wombat gem was spot on. It is a little over a kilometre from town, so get your groceries before, then you can start relaxing immediately. Secluded bush spot, "with sea glimpses"?so need to drive to the beach or walk a km. But beautiful. We had the ground floor studio, which was spacious.

What a pleasant surprise! We booked a Family House, 2 Bedrooms, Fireplace and it turned out to be a historic house, former Gaol, very tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. Loved the fireplace and a separate dining room. Excellent location - just 5 minutes walk from Waubs beach where we spotted a few penguins!

Superb location
Fantastic location in woodland, walks, wildlife, dogs will love it! We had the 2 bed roomed apartment which gave us masses of room. The 1 bedroom would be good for a couple but maybe a bit cramped for friends. Loads of amenities, absolutely loved it. Only 1 moan, don't expect to be able to use wifi. We were given codes that were for 4 days, lasted maybe 1 and the TV had no signal most of the time! The sea is beautiful and only 5 minutes away.

Our unit was good value but nothing is ever perfect. The bathroom placed too much emphasis on the spar with the mirror badly placed above the toilet as a result of a large windows that extended over the hand basin. More cupboard and bench space would be useful in the living area.

It took a little backtracking to locate our accommodation! Once inside we found it cosy and apart from some cobwebs and a few little spiders ok. Disappointed there was not an oven but there was a microwave and a bbq. First night we discovered there is no outside light, proved very difficult to cook on bbq with one hand holding our small car torch and in the other a pair of tongs !!!! Next day I woke to discover a huntsman on the ceiling not a good thing to wake up to !!!!! Apart from the people staying above us making noise when running around it was peaceful enough. Next time I will be booking accommodation within walking distance to the centre of Bicheno. Overall I would give 6/10 for our 2 nights accommodation. Margaret

Good place
The house was great. Clean, big, all the amenities we needed. The only issue we had was the hotels.com does not advise you on the site when booking that TasShacks have many different types of accommodation and it is not located centrally like it says ok the booking site. We were not advised of this until after booking. It was still only a 5 min drive but not within walking distance as it says when booking. The place was big and spacious. Good for a family.

Our first night was awful, we have never had to make a complaint before, the website was not set out very easy so it was very deceiving, so we upgraded our room so we thought but when we got there it had the worst smell so we had the door open and the heater on trying to get rid or the smell, not a great start to our honeymoon. The next morning we rang telling reception about our room, they got the cleaner to take a look, so the cleaner that was on site gave us her room which was nice and it was much better but our stay was already ruined from the night before
