Panorama Hotel St Helens

Panorama Hotel St Helens

10/10 Excellent
"This small-town hotel deserves an accolade for the elegant and stylish design of its lobby, lounge, hallways and corridors. A big round of applause to the interior designer! Overall, the property is immaculately clean and meticulously tidy all throughout, from the inside and out, and through to the guest rooms. We had a well-appointed room upstairs with a panoramic view of the lagoon and beaches. A word of note - there are no lifts in this hotel so make sure to request your room to be appointed on the ground level if you have mobility issues. Reception staff are accommodating and very considerate to the needs of their guests as we received the same “country-feel” and warm hospitality from check-in to check-out. We will not have second thoughts booking this hotel again in our future travels to St Helens!"

Diamond Island Resort & Penguin viewing

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and spacious. The view was breathtaking and the walking areas were stunning for nature lovers like me. I his would be the best comfortable stay in Bicheno that you can get The bed was slightly uncomfortable in terms of the price we paid . The advertised penguin viewing is underwhelming and the best viewing areas were cordoned off in the evening leading to 5-6 penguins maximum available for viewing. Ideally , this should be open for resort guests as this is too close to the venue and we have paid premium for the stay . The other operator has a monopoly and we are stuck if we cannot get the booking from that operator"

Tandara Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We are giving this small-town motor inn a five star out of five simply because it has an inner soul that made us feel at home despite its ageing condition. We felt positive vibes because of the relaxed and laidback atmosphere, the delicious hot meal of lamb shanks and chicken curry and the friendly and warm staff especially Stephanie who is very attending and caring. The room attendants and our waitress who served us a sumptuous dinner are equally lovable people with a good sense of community spirit. In my personal opinion, this bistro-style accommodation is the authentic gateway to Maria Island!"
