My friend, her two small children and I spent 3 nights at this lovely cottage in January. Bassett and his parents were extremely helpful and responsive with the booking and special requests (sourcing a portacot!) and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The cottage itself is super sweet, charming and rustic and very comfortable. Absolutely central to everything you need in Bicheno and why go and hunt out the penguins when they love in the back yard?? :) We spent a lot of time in the backyard, which is great for the kids to run ragged. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend the cottage for a restful stay in this lovely town. Many thanks!
