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"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Dolphin Sands?
The best area to stay in Dolphin Sands is along the main beachfront stretch, particularly around the central part of Dolphin Sands Road.This area is characterised by its direct access to the long, sandy beach, which is superb for strolls and offers stunning views across Great Oyster Bay towards the Freycinet Peninsula. Accommodation here typically consists of private holiday homes and a few boutique guesthouses, many with elevated positions to maximise the ocean vistas. It's a relatively spread-out community, so a car is essential for exploring.For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, this central beachfront area is ideal. You'll find properties that offer privacy, direct beach access, and often luxurious amenities like private decks, hot tubs, or well-equipped kitchens for self-catering. The focus here is on unwinding, enjoying the natural beauty, and perhaps spotting dolphins or whales directly from your accommodation.Families will also find this area highly suitable. The expansive beach provides ample space for children to play, build sandcastles, and explore in a calm environment. Many holiday homes are designed with families in mind, offering multiple bedrooms, spacious living areas, and often outdoor spaces for barbecues.
When is the best time to go to Dolphin Sands?
The best time to go to Dolphin Sands is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for beach activities and exploring the natural beauty of the area.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 25°C, with plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall. This weather is great for swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, and enjoying the walking trails along the coastline. The waters of Great Oyster Bay are inviting, and the longer daylight hours mean more time for outdoor adventures.For those who prefer a slightly cooler but still pleasant climate, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are milder, typically between 12°C and 20°C, and the crowds are generally smaller. This makes it a good time for couples seeking a more tranquil escape, as you can still enjoy the beaches and local attractions without the peak season bustle.
