Meredith House consists of upper floor accommodation in the heritage house, plus 4 ground floor suites in an adjacent Mews building. Ours was the Studio Mews, with queen bed and accessible bathroom, but no spa. Fine by us. We could park directly outside the door, and lug our (voluminous) luggage inside. We had a view of the House gardens, which also includes a BBQ space for those staying longer. It's a compact space, yet includes a dining setting and kitchenette area (microwave,not stove). Heat is by radiator and electric heater; and electric blankets, fluffy doona and blankets on the bed. Dinners can be obtained at a selection of close and nearby restaurants and taverns - your hosts will happily recommend the best. Save room for breakfast the next day, because... Noel and Neal put together a HUGE spread of continental and hot food for your included breakfast. If you're lucky, you might get to try Noel's baked ricotta on your fresh fruit and crumpets. The bacon, eggs and sausages are sourced locally from specialty producers; the stories of how they vary by the season are fascinating. You'll certainly leave stuffed to the brim, and may have to take some of the fresh pastries with you in a 'doggie bag' - better than leaving them to the resident doggies!

My fav was the wall of windows that provided views to the bush scenery outside our lodge. There was a tub outside and nice patio to enjoy nature. We peaked outside around 10pm and got a good view of the stars. The minibar is all free. Breakfast is included in your room cost. We also ate in the restaurant to great views of the water and delicious food. Staff was very welcoming and enhanced our stay. Great experience!

They are gentle and if you want to make a reservation for an activity, don't mind, just ask them they'll do for you. The breakfast buffet is incredible. English breakfast such as continental. Fresh products and they fill it regularly so you never miss something ! One regret for the breakfast is the lack of hot chocolate. You must buy it.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils that you might need to cook a feast or you are in walking distance to several places to grab a bite. The bedroom is comfortable with queen size beds. The lounge room has a large tv and comfortable seating. There is a verandah with a portable bbq for those balmy nights. The apartments are walking distance from bush walks, the beach and the small shopping centre. Bicheno still has a village atmosphere and I believe it would be very seasonable with passing holiday makers. There are many families walking around in the town. The information bureau in town is most helpful. Also are the owners of the apartments.

This is the dream. Lucky for us, they've built two free-standing studio apartments along with a two-bedroom beach house so we can all steal just a slice of their lifestyle. With so many activities in the area, we barely spent anytime in the apartment, but the time we did spend was as close to perfection as gets for us. What it lacked in posh luxury it made up for in relaxing, comfortable, modern amenities. The design was stunning, the small kitchen was fully stocked, and the location was a perfect jumping off point for all of the area's activities. Most of all, Iain and Belinda were such kind and accommodating hosts, we wanted them to adopt us. They stocked our larder both evenings with fresh breakfast supplies so we could be up with the birds, and we even bumped into them while kayaking in the bay. Skip the resorts - this is exactly the type of boutique, local accommodation that you're looking for - trust me. Two days was nowhere near enough.

It is hard to get there, but paradise awaits. Looking down on Great Oyster Bay and out at the Hazards Peaks, you will be treated to superb food, fun activities (we ate oysters standing in wader boots at a table literally in the sea), an amazingly caring staff, and stellar rooms with floor to ceiling windows looking at a jaw dropping view. Room, activities, food, alcohol are all included in the shamefully expensive price. Highly recommended.

Their high staff to guest ratio ensures that all your needs can be taken care of. The view is spectacular and you just can't get sick of it! The food and wine here is amazing, and we worked with their head chef for him to prepare us a special dinner with items we wanted. There are plenty of include excursions that you can sign up for and activities that you can do at leisure. I definitely recommend going to the oyster farm and sampling oysters in the bay, even if you don't like oysters! I think in the group of 5 that was on my outing, I was the only one who really really really loved oysters! Just the experience itself is unique enough to try out! But just like Darryn T.'s review, the one downside is the tiny tiny gym. I mean, it was so small that I really couldn't do a side lunge without standing at some weird angle. Definitely awkward if there's someone else in their that you don't know.
