We loved our stay at this gorgeous apartment! It's in such nice condition; I think it's only a few months old! The bed was incredibly comfortable. The picnic table on the front deck was a great spot for a card game and glass of wine. The beach and water is so close (literally one street over), and it's convenient to walk into Bicheno's main area. Definitely check out the Farm Shed while you're visiting. Great food and atmosphere. One other great tip is during low tide, you can walk out to Cod Rock on the spit. It was such a neat experience, and literally within walking distance of the place! Oh and yes, the penguins do "come home" in the evening literally right next to the place. They're so cute!
