Diamond Island Resort, Restaurant & Bar And Penguin Show - Bicheno

The king bed was comfortable, and the spacious shower had plenty of hot water. The beach was just a short walk away, and my son loved seeing the fairy penguins at night. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and we felt it was great value for our family getaway.

I loved superb views!

The hotel was great and lovely in general, had amazingly attentive staff at explaining what was happening or where to go. My twin room had modern conveniences, including a lounge and a very good kitchen. The breakfast offered a huge variety of savoury meals. The location of the venue was very central, really close to overgrown tennis court, the Diamond Island " Resort " viewing platform and an amazing beach. Cafe Eat was 100 metres away from the place.

Its location was central, close to a local park. The restaurant was very nice for us for dinner here, I had delicious dishes. The staff were competent and responsive as we expected.

Chur, the beach access was sweet as, but the room felt a bit basic and the pillows were rock hard. The penguins made it all worth it, though!

Loved the penguins, the proximity to the beach, and the rooms were outstanding. The restaurant was great - food was delicious (including the kids meals). Breakfast in the morning was also great. Provision of library, and board games was a nice touch also. as well as the cameras showing the penguins nesting on the property.

We didn't have anything outstanding that we didn't like. It was all good.

Thank you for a fine stay. It's a fine hotel with beautiful location and recently refurbished rooms.

The room size was spacious with a fine ocean view. The pillows were rock hard, making it hard to sleep.

The location was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable stay rooms big and recently refurbished to a great standard

Staff unhelpful and rude breakfast only average

The views were absolutely stunning and it was a treat to be so close to the beach. I was particularly impressed with the penguin tour, even though only a few came up. The area around Diamond Island offered incredible walks, and seeing wildlife, including rabbits and a deer, made the stay even more special. The apartment was clean and tidy, which contributed to a pleasant experience overall.

outstanding food spa in room access to amazing beach and walk to the island is special penguins! quiet and super relaxing host was generous and friendly

swimming pool needed a bit of a clean tennis court is pretty rough but ok for a family hit and giggle with small children

The food and service in the restaurant was good and the location was above a nice beach and small island area.The owners talk about the fairy penguins that come on the property each night and guests can watch was excellent.

Sleeping on a single mattress on the floor for $400 a night because the small airconditioner was not working as it was too hot to sleep upstairs, was a huge disapointment. My husband even had slater bugs crawling over him during the night. Could not call this place a resort..especially for couples.. even though it is advertised as such. While the decor has been upgraded...dont know why the spa is in the living area with no privacy... it is still a seventies style of building and not suited to couples. The second very small bedroom can only sleep children in single beds and you have to walk through the main bedroom to get to it with only a curtain for privacy. A second fan up there would have improved it a bit. The tarrif on the room was the highest we paid in the state and the least favourable of all our accommodation.The owner did not offer a reduced rate or apology even when he knew we had slept on the floor. I would not recommend this place to any fellow travellers.

great access to beach and local attractions for explorations

staying here was a real delight as I was just steps away from Diamond Island and the beautiful Redbill Beach, making my early morning walks easy while enjoying the fine coastal views.

i love the penguins but unfortunately its not the peak season and i could only see one. but definitely recommended for penguins viewing if timing works.

Close proximity to the Ocean and excellent seafood platter
