Bicheno Cottage | WHERE MEMORIES ARE MADE - rent both cottages for that extended family holiday

2 Bedroom Cottage in Bicheno

THIS PROPERTY IS ONE OF TWO (LOCATED SIDE BY SIDE) THAT CAN BE RENTED TOGETHER FOR UP TO 10 PEOPLE. SEE ALSO 'DIAMOND ISLAND RETREAT TOO'!!.
Providing a virtual waterfront location, 'The Retreat' provides quiet, comfortable, self-contained accommodation in a gloriously picturesque setting and less than 3 km from the East coast township of Bicheno.
Diamond Island Retreat is a family holiday home. We are delighted to be able to share it with our friends and family. During your stay we hope that you are able to begin to appreciate what it is we see in this pristine environment and that you, in turn, will share that with your friends. However, if you are on a return visit we'd like to welcome you back.
You only need stand on the expansive deck and look out toward the sea to see why this place is called Diamond Island. This is a jewel in the sea. Our Beach is Redbill beach is only a stone's throw and accessible via Gordon St). We call it 'our' beach because it certainly feels private. I assure you, once you step foot on the beach and feel the sun on your skin and wind in your hair the stress and worry of your everyday life will be carried away on the gentle breeze.
At low tide, you can venture across the sand bar to visit Diamond Island. Extreme care is required to avoid disturbing the delightful little Fairy Penguins as this is a protected sanctuary for the little birds.
Swim the crystal clear water, surf the waves, explore the rock pools, go beachcombing for seashells, or just relax on the spacious deck at 'The Retreat' with a glass of chilled Tasmanian bubbles or a frosty ale. If you are lucky you may spot dolphins playfully frolicking in the shelter of Diamond Island or perhaps even Humpback whales on their migration along the East Coast.
Accommodation at 'The Retreat' consists of 1 queen size bed in one bedroom and two single beds, plus a trundle to make the fifth bed.
Linen, doonas, pillows, blankets and towels are all provided. You also have access to our laundry facilities (washing machine and dryer).
With a comfortable leather lounge suite, reverse cycle airconditioner and heater, 40' flat screen LCD TV, CD, Blu-Ray DVD player with a selection of movie titles, you are assured of a stress-free & relaxed holiday in this captivating place.
The kitchen is equipped with all the utensils and crockery you could need, so feel free to cook up a storm either indoors or outdoors on the gas BBQ and outdoor dining table.
Alternatively venture into the township for a counter meal or enjoy some of the wonderful local restaurants and cafes such as Pasini's, The Shed or bakery. All specialise in local and seasonal fare. If you don't fancy driving, one of the best restaurants on the east coast is 5 minutes walk away! The chefs at 'Facets' restaurant specialises in dishes that focus on local seafood, beef, fruits, wines and cheeses. It is Tasmania's famed cuisine at its very best.

Situated an equal distance from the capital city of Hobart in the South and the northern city of Launceston, Bicheno is a popular holiday destination for Tasmanian and interstate visitors alike. This part of Tasmania enjoys its own Mediterranean microclimate. The East coast is generally several degrees warmer than the rest of Tasmania all year round.

Penguin tours (bookings required) are held nightly all year round 5 minutes walk from The Retreat.
Diving and fishing charters operate out of Bicheno and glass bottom boat tours highlight the magnificent kelp forests that grace the East Coast of Tasmania.
Bicheno has a wide range of activities to cater for every taste and budget.
