Andrew's place was extremely comfortable to stay in. It was a modern room with newer styling. It faced the ocean which you can hear the waves roll in day and night. During the morning, you can see the seals out on the rocks in the ocean using the binoculars that Andrew left for use. He left a map of Bicheno which provided different things that you can do in the area.
Although we did message Andrew a few FYIs, he didn't respond but that wasn't a big deal as we took it as a good thing if he had nothing to mention! We did go out on his front yard to look at the stars and made a little bit of noise but heard no complaints.
One advice is if you're coming from Cole's Bay/wineglass bay, there's an esplanade Street in that area that should not be mistaken as Andrew's place as it's not somewhere you'd wish to stay!! We got a little lost cause of that!
