One star value at a 5 star price. Disappointed does not begin to describe our assessment of Cosy (read very small) Bicheno. For $10 less than we paid per night, we could have stayed at Wrest Point or any one of many other 4 star hotels.
Cupboard doors off their hinges, an oven door that doesn’t close, dangerously broken chairs, cutlery that bends when skewering a pizza, child size dinner plates, not a teaspoon in the house, scotch glasses for your wine, broken curtain runners, collapsible camping chairs for lounge seating, rusted cheap furniture on the deck and gardens with weeds two feet tall.
To use the washing machine you would have to remove the cupboard door within which it resides, or wash without using powder.
You can heat the house, but first you must swing a block splitter into 12 inch hardwood timber rounds and forage somewhere for kindling to set them to fire.
The bbq was unusably dirty.
The house is a badly designed and poorly maintained box.
Would I stay again at or recommend “Cosy” Bicheno, I think not!
The aforementioned is my professional assessment as the director ( now retired ) of a property and build company
