We had a lovely long weekend staying in Bassett's Bicheno cottage. The location is ideal being only a five minute walk down to the beach and about 10-15 into town for a coffee or a meal.

The place itself is very comfortable and homely. We had a great night out around the fire pit enjoying some local produce under the open sky. We also took full advantage of Bassett's extensive book collection, he has excellent taste!

Overall, we found the cottage to be a fantastic place to spend a long weekend (pity it wasn't longer) and I can absolutely recommend it as the place to stay on the East Coast.
