We absolutely loved our stay at Petrea's seaside cottage in Bicheno. A beautiful home of artisan pieces and old country charm nestled by the bay and close to town there was plenty to occupy our hearts and minds. Petrea was a very helpful host with many tips and recommendations of things to do and explore around the region to get the most out of our stay.
Full of local knowledge, we took her suggestions and spent an afternoon at Freycinet exploring the National Park and feasting on the most wonderful freshest seafood and wine and gathering sea shells at the Marine Farm.
Come evening, we took a short bike ride along the coastline to watch the penguins waddle ashore and later cosied up by the big beautiful fire place with a vino in hand ahead of our Douglas Apsley hike and waterhole swim the next morning.
To say the least, it was bliss and could have stayed a week longer. Thank you Petrea for opening your home and heart to us, we loved every minute and hope to return!
