We enjoyed our stay at James (Jim)'s home - Kooka's Nest. Jim communicated well with us by phoning us to let us know how to get to his home and access the key safe, checking with us to see if everything was ok and offering any assistance that we needed. Kooka's nest was very clean and comfortable and had all amenities on offer from a good stock of food provisions - cereal, tea/coffee, butter/spreads, biscuits and even bottled water. The bathroom too was extremely clean and had all the amenities. James has an impressive vegie-garden set up and he shared some of the produce - radishes and strawberries. James was kind and hospitable and we enjoyed our chats with him. The weather in Bicheno was very poor during our 3-night stay and on the last night we had dinner and drinks with James at his home. James provided us with tips on where to see the penguins in Bicheno, and with tips on places to visit in Tasmania during our course of travels.
