A big thumbs up for the wood fired oven - we had some lovely oven baked fish. The staff are very friendly - Brendan really made us feel welcome and took the time to talk to us even though it was busy. The food is a little bit expensive for pub food though. I think that this is easily the best option for eating in Swansea, it was the only one recommended by our B&B hosts and other locals.

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.

Our room had everything a weary traveler could wish for: all the fixings for tea and coffee, an electric blanket, Wifi, TV, and tasteful and comfortable furniture! The bathroom was nice and spacious, and the glass shower has a nice way of retaining heat. The roses outside lend the property a charming feel. The couple that run the place are very friendly and welcoming without being invasive. The jewelry sold at the front desk is beautiful, reasonably priced, and is made by the owners' family! Also, I felt comfortable being out as a lesbian with my girlfriend there! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

There was even two tour buses in the parking lot. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm). They have a bit of everything; sandwiches, meat pies, desserts, soups, breakfast and drinks (coffee, tea and hot/cold drinks). - Sausage pie ($3.90 AUD) - our friend devoured this so quickly that we didn't even see it. - Savoury pie ($3.90 AUD) - we tried a savoury pie. It tasted like a chicken pot pie without the chicken. Great crunchy, flaky texture. Will need to try more of these. - Vanilla slice ($5.50 AUD) - our other friend told us these are great in Ozzy. She let us sample; light and creamy. Yum. - Korma curry vegetable ($5.90 AUD) - potato, pumpkin, carrot, peas, spinach, onion, cauliflower, zucchini and sweet potato. Our first vegetarian pie; curry was mild. Decent enough. Good little cafe spot to grab a quick bite.

Being in the Tasmanian countryside we may have preferred a more "mom and pop" type of bakery rather than this somewhat touristy, slightly franchise-y looking establishment complete with an attached tavern, but the selection and quality of the food made it worth the stop.
