Found Anchlia 2 years ago by chance and loved it so much we returned. Both visits we stayed in Penguins Nest, the one bedroom accommodation. Car parking at front door and it has a large dining, living and kitchen area, separate bedroom with a double and one single bed and a separate comfortable bathroom with shower over a small tub....

My family and I stay at the Cod Rock Terrace house on Feb 2011. We had just a great time at this place, the view is awesome!!!! At night penguin come to your backyard and you can see them but never touch them, they very cute. During the day your can just sit on the front area and enjoy the... More

Four years ago on a trip around Tasmania we arrived in Bicheno late one afternoon to find all the motels booked out. We were offered the Cod Rock Cottage and were amazed when we arrived to check in. What a lovely place - a truly lovely cottage, with a beautiful garden and the ocean breaking over a rocky foreshore barely... More

Yes there are penguins, the location is fabulous! Neat 2 storey cabin/cottage at the waters edge. Penguins return each day from fishing in the ocean and walk across the property to their beds in the cottages' gardens. Very exciting to see those little fairy penguins in the wild. Don't be surprised at 4 am when they all wake up and... More

We stayed in Penguin Nook, the smaller of the two units, but plenty of room for 3 adults and a 2 year old. Great location right on the water just outside Bicheno town centre and penguins really did come into the garden at night! Kitchen equipment could do with an update but otherwise all good. Massive flat screen TV! Short... More

We arrived 30 mins later only to have the manager march out of her office and lecture us that because we did not turn up immediately she had given the room to a "walk in" and had the nerve to...

We booked both the penguin nook and cod rock terrace and my family of 8 absolutely loved both cottages! This was our favorite accommodation! The location is superb, located next to the beach. You can walk directly to the beach from the backyard, just about 30 seconds away. The accommodation is clean and beautifully decorated. The cod rock terrace accommodates... More

We stayed in the Penguin unit and it is so beautifully decorated, giving you a very cozy feeling. It feels more like a home than a hotel stay. Superb location, can walk down to the rock/sea. You could hear penguin sound just outside the unit and possibly spot some penguins, but was too cold for us to do so. Small... More

The Anchlia Waterfront Cottage is a real find in charming Bicheno. It is a very nicely done accomodation with 2 adjoining cottages. We stayed on the 1 bedroom side and it was very spacious and had a beautiful view out the sea. There was also the convenience of a w/d and a decently equipped kitchen. There are also an IGA... More
