8/10 Very good

Great low rise hotel with bay views.

Great views from the bay side of the hotel. Great food in the resturant. The room was newly painted with new carpet, the bath was dated.

Beautiful spot

Beautiful spot, good size appartments with great view on to sea, pinguin spotting every night…you might get lucky. The only thing that i find a bit sad that there is only a very smal 2 seater sofa, no chair. Would be nice to have a bit more comfort to sit and watch the sea.

We had a great time. Very helpful new owners.

Nice property with the added bonus of great views and small penguins on the property each night.

Great way to see the penguins at night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in a breeze. The apartment was just beautiful. Could do with another washing machine on the grounds though- it was always very busy!
Jane, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our bed was old with body indentations. The ensuite was very dated. Obviously money is spent elsewhere, maybe upgrade the rooms to ensure return custom.

It was the beautiful view ever I love everything about diamond Island gorgeous atmosphere words can’t describe my feelings oho it’s family friendly as well
Afsaneh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful beachside comfort

Incredible location - looks out to sea, close access to a superb beach. Kids loved the sheep paddock next door, rabbits marauding on the lawn and the little penguins did not disappoint. Gorgeous bedding, and bedrooms have great light. Not ideal with small children - there is a long flight of stairs to the upstairs bedroom, the front door slams with great force. Limited groceries available in Bicheno, but the Lobster Shack took good care of us.

The opportunity to watch the Penguins was good. Bed linens were dirty, it felt like something crawling over the skin the whole night; I couldn't sleep at all.
