The Baby Penguin - Freycinet Holiday Houses

Welcome to The Baby Penguin, a cozy and beautifully designed cabin crafted by Tasmanian designers with a profound connection to the serene town of Bicheno.

Explore, Relax and Rejuvenate at this property proudly managed by Freycinet Holiday Houses.

This charming retreat offers a warm and inviting one-bedroom studio space bathed in the gentle glow of the coastal Tasmanian sun.
Step inside and be enveloped by the tranquillity of this unique space, where every detail has been carefully considered for your comfort and enjoyment. Adorned with local Tasmanian artworks by acclaimed artists Nick Glade-Wright and Dallas Richardson, The Baby Penguin seamlessly blends contemporary design with the natural beauty of its surroundings.

As the day gently fades into evening, take a stroll to the nearby Blowhole and witness a magical sight: native Little Penguins gracefully waddling along the rocky shoreline. After your enchanting encounter, return to The Baby Penguin and unwind in comfort. You can relax on the terrace, enjoying the remaining warmth of the day in the surrounding nature, or gather around the inviting fire pit to share stories and laughter with loved ones as you cozy up under the starry Tasmanian sky.

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life at our charming holiday house, where we invite you to unwind without the distraction of Wi-Fi. While we understand the significance of this modern amenity, Wi-Fi is not available at this property. Embrace the opportunity to fully connect with your surroundings, explore the region's beauty, and immerse yourself in the vibrant offerings of the local community.
Limited free Wi-Fi is available in the centre of Bicheno or at the library opposite the Bicheno Primary School at the ocean end of Burgess St.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful solo retreat, The Baby Penguin provides the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Cute tiny house but....
The location of the rental is great! It's right up the street from the bicheno blow hole and a short walk or drive to most of the shops and restaurants in town. I also enjoyed the neighbor cat that frequently likes to hang out next to the property. I was kind of bummed that the listing mentions wifi and television but there was no wifi and the tv only had music channels. The bed was stiff and had stains on the comforter.

Beautiful Bicheno
Very compact property. Great u could park the car right next to shack. Could walk everywhere in the town and coastal walks. The place was very quiet, clean and tidy but the outside lawn area needs some major tlc and there was no outside light.
