Had an amazing 3-day stay at Basset's place... he definitely deserves all the good reviews he has been given. We had the pleasure of being greeted by Bassett, he was very welcoming, laid back, and friendly. Gave us regular updates on the local area and had some great days out based on his recommendation. Devils corner winery, spotting the penguins on the beach at night and diamond island are a must. The actual cottage was amazing, thanks Gail for cleaning the place to a high standard and leaving us yummy biscuits and jams.We had cozy nights next to the fire or used the outside fire pit! Something magical about hearing the sound of penguins and other wildlife at night. Bicheno is a lovely corner of the world, had great weather when we got there luckily and managed to see the milky way and shooting stars on the beach each night.Would definitely recommend and visit again.
