Welcome to On the Rocks, a spacious, beautiful holiday house boasting fantastic sea views and a relaxing backyard garden.
The main house of On the Rocks accommodates four guests and offers two lovely bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two king single beds. Guests can indulge in the spacious and bright bathroom, equipped with a shower and a deep bathtub, providing the ideal retreat to unwind after exploring Bicheno.
For larger groups or families of six, On the Rocks offers a beautiful new retreat with a separate entry to the main house. This retreat features an additional bedroom with an indulgent king bed, a modern ensuite with shower, and a flatscreen TV – providing guests with their private getaway for absolute bliss.
The spacious, sun-drenched, open-plan living area comprises a large living room and dining room, with the kitchen serving as the starting point for capturing breathtaking scenarios.
Guests will appreciate the home comforts provided by the modern kitchen and split system air-conditioning, ensuring relaxation during Bicheno’s winters and mild summers. Relax and soak in the sun from the family-sized deck and large backyard, all while enjoying ocean views right from where you stand. BBQ facilities and WiFi are available, and guests can conveniently use an internal laundry.
One of the real secrets of On the Rocks is its proximity to Rice Pebble Beach, just a two-minute walk from the bottom of the garden, and the nearby Bicheno Blow Hole. For those who prefer to explore on foot, it’s an enjoyable 10-minute stroll to the shops of Bicheno or a slightly longer journey of 30 minutes to Redbill Beach and 20 minutes to Waubs Bay. Experience the ultimate coastal retreat at On the Rocks and create unforgettable memories in Bicheno.

Thank you for your review re your recent stay at Magic Spot. The location is a Magic - viewing the bay from the lounge and a stroll along the path to a secluded beach. A Magic Spot.

This is our third stay at this lovely property. Feels like a home away from home, brilliant location right near the blowhole and can walk in to town. We will be back for a fourth stay asap!

Nice house in a perfect location. Comfy beds. Lacking some amenities and decor a little retro but perfect place to stay for a couple of nights to explore east coast of Tassie.

Cottage was very comfortable, cosy, with extremely comfortable beds. Lovely view of the water from the back of the property, with access through the back gate down to the beaches. Within walking distance to town, seafood outlets, blowhole and beaches. Would stay here again.
