We recently stayed at Beachfront Bicheno for one night in a sea-view room, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and friendly staff who made check-in seamless and welcoming. The sea view room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, offering stunning views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise from our private balcony was truly a highlight of our stay. The room had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location is perfect – just a short stroll to the beach and close to local attractions. We loved exploring the nearby coastal walks and enjoying the fresh sea breeze. Overall, our stay at Beachfront Bicheno exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with breathtaking views and excellent service. We would definitely return in the future!

N/A

As a small beach community this motel was perfect for our touring needs in the area. This is an older style property with around 25 ground-floor units of different sizes, each with its own parking. We chose a 2-bedroom unit (with small balcony), that had a queen and 2 single beds. The bed was warm and comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, clean and well appointed. WIFI was excellent. The room even had fridge that was a little larger than the normal bar-size. There’s also an onsite laundry room besides reception (8am-6pm). As a bonus, there’s also a pub right next door to the motel, that has a rear entrance for easy access. Their food was very good pub-style, with a friendly vibe……….and no, I couldn’t hear anything from the bar when in my room. Of course because the town is so small everything else you might need is very close by! This really was a perfect stay. Was it the Shangri La? No, but of its type, the Beachfront Bicheno exceeded our needs and expectations by quite some measure. Well done, highly recommended!

All good!

View was fantastic- but we were given room number 49 which happens to be upstairs? I don’t know if there are only 2 x upstairs "seaview" rooms or whether all front (down and up) are considered "seaview"? Regardless it had a great view as I think many of them do. For a basic feel motel room with a great view, I can’t complain.

I didn’t like that they did not service your room daily and that they only told you this upon arrival - so you are paying over $200 a night for a 'motel' style room (updated to a degree but in the typical motel style) and with Pillows that were so thin!

View of the ocean as advertised. Able to park outside our door. Bistro and bottle shop nearby which was handy. A good walk from the blowhole, was good exercise and totally worth it. Nice and clean, comfortable bed.

No hair dryer in the room (although I didn't ask at reception if they had one that I could use). Would have been good to have some sort of instruction on how to access the property by car, as it wasn't that obvious when we first got there but we worked it out. It was drizzling a bit during our stay, a roof over the balcony area would have given us better use of it considering the sea view. The TV was quite small and a couple channels were intermittently not working (we like to watch TV at night when winding down).

The room was quiet and very clean and tidy. The hotel next door was accessible from the rooms, and the food options were great. It was also only a very short walk into the main centre where there were plenty of cafe options and nice walks.

My particular room (46?) had a problem with the shower water running out onto the bathroom floor and then out of the bathroom into the living area. I ended up having to block the bottom of the shower door with a towel to prevent this.

This hotel was amazing! Check in was very easy, and the reception staff were so friendly and informative of local activities. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfy with a very comfy bed. We had a fabulous view from our balcony over the water, which was amazing! The hotel was centrally located and close to everything. This hotel definitely ticked a lot of boxes and one of our favourite hotels we have stayed in.

Nothing - everything was perfect.

Basic, motel- style accommodation. No frills, but modern, clean, big comfy bed. Toiletries/ fridge/ air conditioning.

Functional accommodation, fine for passing through for one night. Hassle checking in, even though room was pre-paid, because we struggled to produce a physical credit card with PIN to work in their machine. Stupid fuss that we have not had elsewhere. Wasn’t bothered about ID- just credit card. No food, except at the pub next door great breakfast options just down the road.

The place was neat and clean. The location was great and there was ample parking. The staff were friendly and helpful and overall it was a nice stay. The rates were affordable as well and they accommodate different numbers of people. There was a pool which would be great for summer and the closest beach was only 500m away

There were only sheets and one bedcover on the beds so as it was freezing we had to run the heating high to make it bearable. The beds could also do with mattress protectors as well as it is a little icky to see none on them. And outside areas could do with more lights.

Definitely worth the money. The room was clean with a nicely updated bathroom. The air conditioning was strong, quickly heating the room on a cold day. The location was also very convenient, just a 2-minute drive from everything. Highly recommend for a budget-friendly stay! I'll definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Bicheno.

I probably wouldn't call it 'beachfront' since the beach is actually across the road and there’s no water view from the motel. But I didn't mind because the clean and warm room exceeded my expectations.

Very central location, newly updated room which is quite spacious. Opposite the beach.

Very minor things, Barn door on the bathroom was not level so always budged open and the gap at the other side allowed some vision into the bathroom. The bag holder was just a bit too small so I had to store my bag on the floor. I am not keen on bath showers but that's just my personal opinion. These all said would not stop me from recommending or staying again in the future.
