The room and resort was excellent but the highlight was being able to hold a baby penguin while it was being fed by the owner. He also took us down near the beach so that we could see the penguins coming in. He was very passionate about protecting the penguins and most upset that some customers abused them and then... More

To begin with I stayed here about 8 years ago, the resort is unrecognizable since then, except for the obvious penguins and the island. When i decided to come back it was with a little trepidation as you never know what you could be in for second time around, especially after reading what could be construed as unfair reviews about...

I arrived as the sun was going down, and the gentleman was very warm, friendly and welcoming. We had a beautiful dinner, saw some penguins at night and the following morning I was able to hold one to assist them in feeding it. It had been injured and they were taking of it to get back in to the wild... More

Perfect views wherever you are in the resort. Two bedroom villas are clean and tidy with everything you need for a self contained stay. Lovely BBQ pavilion for guests use and a small playground for young kids. People with average IQ will realise that the penguins are not pets and are not called up to the viewing platform. They are...

Stunning views and a beautiful white sand beach, at low tide you can walk over to Diamond Island but the tides were too high when we visited. The room was bright and had a nice bathroom with good sized towels and range of toiletries but no shower cap , very comfortable King bed and a good sized sitting area and... More

This is a great location and good food and accommodation. Conveniently located to town and we could walk to Diamond island at low tide. Great view and wonderful walking beach (too cold at the time of our visit for swimming). The continental breakfast was good and the evening dinner was excellent. Don't expect room service nor beds to be made... More

Sometimes I wonder what it takes to please some people!! Stayed here for only one night (21st March) and found the resort to be all that we needed/wanted. A comfortable bed with electric blanket (it was cold and raining/windy), a well stocked kitchenette, and small lounge/dining room, and a tv that we could watch from bed! In good weather, a... More

If I had read Irischiu's review, i really wouldn't book this 'resort' with such high price but totally disappointed. We chose this place cos of the convenience of viewing the penguins. However we got there in mid march but we got first message from the operator was that we were unable to view any penguin. The operator gave a lot... More

We just come back from Tasmania and the most regretable thing I did was to book Diamond Island Resort in Bicheno. We stayed there on 18th and 19th Feb 2013. It totally ruined our holiday!!! The service was terrible, or I would say there was no service at all in a so-called "resort"! Every question we asked from the front... More
