Rustic by the sea - Freycinet Holiday Houses
Rustic by the sea ~ a timeless holiday retreat!
Introducing “Rustic by the Sea,” a timeless holiday retreat nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Bicheno. This enchanting getaway, situated right on the waterfront of Denison Beach, invites you to experience the allure of an old timber cottage with the genuine charm and character reminiscent of a classic seaside shack.
As you approach Rustic by the Sea, the weathered timber exterior sets the tone for an authentic coastal escape. With its prime location, the cottage offers an uninterrupted connection to the ocean, boasting a direct path to the sandy shores of Denison Beach. Immerse yourself in the soothing symphony of crashing waves and the gentle rustle of coastal breezes’ a melody that accompanies every moment of your stay.
Step inside, and you’ll be transported to a bygone era where the warmth of worn wood and the scent of the Sea blend seamlessly. Every corner is infused with a sense of history and authenticity, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The living room, adorned with comfortable furnishings and a crackling fireplace, becomes the heart of the home during winter nights. Gather around the hearth, share stories, and bask in the intimate glow as the flames dance against the backdrop of the ocean’s rhythm.
Rustic by the Sea boasts three bedrooms, each a private sanctuary with ocean views. Wake up to the sight of the sun casting its golden glow over the water, creating a serene and breathtaking start to your day. With two well-appointed bathrooms, the cottage effortlessly combines nostalgia with modern comfort, ensuring a delightful and convenient stay for you and your guests.
For those who savour the art of coffee, the kitchen features a Nespresso pod machine, allowing you to start your mornings with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sip your favourite blend as you soak in the panoramic views from the comfort of your cottage, or take your cup outside and enjoy the ocean breeze on the private deck.
Rustic by the Sea is more than a holiday house; it’s an invitation to relish the simplicity of coastal living. Whether you seek a romantic retreat or a family escape, this old timber cottage promises an authentic experience by the Sea, where time seems to slow down, and the beauty of Denison Beach unfolds at your doorstep.

Beach House and Beach
Our stay was fantastic, Very comfortable and bed was amazing. The house is in an amazing position if you enjoy a romantic walk on the beach. Felt like it was our personal beach. Fantastic views from just outside the bark door. Only thing that was wrong was they wanted to charge extra for any extra people that might stay, we also had to purchase our own dishwashing detergent because the bottle was empty.

Amazing views
Such a beautiful area to stay in. The views from the house were amazing with the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Listening to the waves at night was so soothing. The beach was pristine and we caught several fish from directly in front of the house. The house was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we required. Bicheno is just a short drive with beautiful restaurants and cafes and I would highly recommend visiting the wildlife park. We would definitely stay there again.

RUSTIC by The Sea
We had 3 nights in late May at this property.
Its situated in the dunes by the sea. Amazing position. Morning and afternoon walks along the beach and just out the back door.
BUT.... it was so COLD!
There were no electric blankets on the beds and the 2 ceramic heaters were totally inadequate because of the high ceilings. The temperature when we stayed there was 1_2 degrees at night.
Only the main bathroom had a strip heater nothing in the ensuite.
The house was very draughty.
There was a wood heater which heated the loungeroom but the damper didnt work and the fire burned out by 11pm.
I slept in full thermals and socks under pjs with doona and all three spare blankets on top and i still neary froze at night!

Lovely clean accommodation steps from the beach, comfy beds and great showers.
Needs a little TLC inside and out but overall we had no real issues other than tuning in the tv for local stations. The beach was wonderful and the dogs got thoroughly spoilt with beach walks. Mum was a little out of her comfort zone but enjoyed her stay. Great having 2 bathrooms and all the space you need.
