The wonderful apartment is located very close to the harbour and extraordinary! The owner was very friendly and helpful. Our apartment had two separate bedrooms, a large living room with a kitchen and a nice bathroom. The terrace was also very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return one day to this unique Motel.

A wonderful three-star hotel with friendly staff, unbeatable location, and all you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a studio and it was wonderfully quiet at night. In the evening you can mingle with the locals in the pub downstairs. There is a good selection of food and drinks and the pub closes early so there's no noise. Everyone was helpful and ready for a laugh. Can definitely recommend it.

Stunning and clever concept. Lived up to expectations as a very memorable experience. A lot of thought has gone into these purepods, and into all the little extras that come with it. Wish we had stayed an extra night or two. If you're into tech and off grid living you're going to love it. Barbecuing our steaks on the balcony with a nice glass of red as the sun went down was one of the highlights of our NZ trip.

We absolutely LOVED the place. With amazing beach views and perfect weather, and a car to drive around, it was simply beautiful. Home away from home, Amanda had everything for our short stay.

The township of Oban is the place to find out most info, access e-bikes and get details of walks, kiwis, trips to places such as Ulva Island. It’s the central township for the island. Glad it has a four square, friendly people at the Doc site. Butterfield Bay is gorgeous.

Great place. I would have liked more time to do more walks.

Great place. I would have liked more time to do more walks. We stayed 2 nights - just enough to do a kiwi experience and visit Ulva Island. We were unlucky with no Kiwi sightings. But the longer walks would have green goid to do if we had more time.

We loved Stewart Island and our travel by ferry to Half Moon Bay. We ate several meals at South Sea Restaurant. Delicious! Several walks, beaches and sights were within easy walking distance. We took a taxi from our accommodations to Golden Bay for our Beaks and Feathers Tour to Ulva Island which we would highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, the birds and trees.

Very peaceful and quaint area that is brilliant for walking to see stunning scenery and enjoy the wildlife. Lots of well made pathways and with the island roads being quiet it was easy to explore the numerous beautiful sandy bays. I will definitely come back to enjoy more of this fabulous area.

Beautiful place with lovely people.

Beautiful place with lovely people. Good range of shops although only a few. The new Museum is definitely worth viewing but quite pricey. Stunning bird life and scenery. Totally awesome place and people.

We took our push bikes so getting around was very easy.

We took our push bikes so getting around was very easy. Luckily the weather was perfect. Still a little chilly at night but beautiful sunny days. We went as far as the road would go in every direction and found stunning sandy beaches along the way. Basic meals at the pub were reasonably priced just watch out for the specials make sure they tell you the price before committing to the order ( $70 lobster tail ) apparently was delicious !! Not many food outlet options. Four square was surprisingly well priced for everyday items they had a bit of everything and the staff were super happy upbeat and friendly.

The most comfortable thick duvet on the best. Such a good nights sleep. A short walk up the hill to reach the property from the ferry terminal. Everything we needed for our short stay was there. Our host let us know we only had a short amount of time if we wanted food at the hotel in the village, so glad of this or we would have missed it.

Jimmy was a lovely, easy going host who made us feel very at home. Picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry. Comfy bed. Nice breakfast with lovely views from the deck. Even got 3 eggs but limited to 2 at South Sea Hotel!!! Friendly atmosphere. Would recommend!
