THIS PROPERTY IS ONE OF TWO (LOCATED SIDE BY SIDE) THAT CAN BE RENTED TOGETHER FOR UP TO 10 PEOPLE. SEE ALSO 'DIAMOND ISLAND RETREAT'.
This is the ideal beach getaway. It enjoys wonderful views over Diamond Island and the Little Penguin rookery that makes Bicheno a magnet to so many interstate and overseas visitors.
As one of our guests said, "This is where memories are made" be it family/friends or couples. This is the place to relax and do nothing or make it action-packed...
Diamond Island Retreat Too is a two bedroom cottage consisting of a queen bed in one room and single beds (a trundle makes the fifth bed) in the other.
A large open designed kitchen/lounge/dining is ideal for families. Relax and watch TV (large DVD selection is available) or enjoy family board games of an evening or maybe you'd like to sit out on the deck and do some star gazing (the night sky is stunning here).
Maybe you'd like to cook outdoors on the gas BBQ and enjoy a few quite wines from the many local vineyards.
Daytime will see you out and about, beach, fishing, surfing, golf, sailing & swimming are all at hand as this cottage is virtually waterfront. Our beach (accessed via Gordon St) has some of the whitest sands and bluest water rivalling the best beaches of the world.

This property had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean and functional. The view from the deck was lovely, overlooking the water. It was quiet and had lots of space for the children to run around. They provided games, DVDs etc. Location is great, just a short drive to the town centre, jetty to see the penguins etc. I would recommend staying here. Communication was also excellent.
We had a wonderful family getaway at Diamond Island Retreat Too! The view is spectacular and the home has everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Location is close to many amazing beaches, national parks and Bicheno Town centre. No wifi as per prior reviews, but mobile coverage was fine (Vodafone and Optus).
Thanks Brad & Kate for your quick responses and being so accommodating.
Owners have presented a beautiful property to stay, and have really thought of everything. We loved our time here! Gorgeous views, great indoor/outdoor furniture, lovely styling and cleanliness was fantastic.
We found the house very comfortable in a lovely setting overlooking Cod Rock/Diamond Island Nature Reserve, which we unfortunately couldn't conveniently get to.
I couldn't work the internet, but by making my phone a hot spot, I could work around that.
There may have been a possum on or in the roof the last few nights we were there.
We would return if the opportunity arose.
This was our final stop on our travels around Tasmania and it was simply perfect! Amazing location. Very well contained, clean cottage which we felt very comfortable in. Loved the view and being able to sit out on the deck and enjoy. Very well maintained. Thank you Brad and Kate
We had a comfortable 2 night stay at this lovely 2 bedroom cottage. It is well set up for families with the fully equipped kitchen and laundry. The view to Diamond Island was lovely. We enjoyed walking on Redbill Beach and visited Natureworld, the Blowhole and were thrilled to see the little penguins.
Could not have asked for a more simple and pleasant experience, Kate and Brad had clear and precise instructions, easy to follow and communication was not an issue, the cottage was marvellous, well presented, and had spectacular morning and evening views on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Everything was clean and tidy with everything provided to make our stay as comfy as possible.
Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a fantastic getaway in our favourite town of Bicheno.
Accommodation was immaculate and catered for both couples and families. Location and scenery was breathtaking. Could not have asked for more, and will DEFINITELY be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful stay! 👌
The property is superbly located up from the northern end of Redbill beach, near Cod Rock. The vista itself is worth everything. The property was clean and in good condition. All amenities worked well and we would not hesitate to return. Keep in mind the property does not offer internet so if that is needed BYOD. Hosts Brad and Kate were very good and responsive in their communications.
We are repeat visitors. Cannot fault the property. Breathtaking views, direct beach access across the paddock. Spotlessly clean and well maintained.
Just sit back and enjoy the sounds of birds and the surf.
My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the area, some of the many things we got to do were the Bicheno Foreshore walk, Apsley waterhole, Bicheno blow hole, whalers lookout - the list goes on. A fantastic location. We went down to the local fish and chip shop and even got to see some close up penguins and seals from a far! Cheers to Kate and Brad for allowing us to stay there!
Our family spent two lovely nights here. House was clean and well suited for a family. The view from the house is spectacular and the kids loved the walk across the sheep paddock to the beach, we even saw some penguins!
