Exceptionally clean accommodation, run by a truly lovely couple genuinely invested in the wellbeing of their guests and the fluffiest cat I’ve encountered in my life. Very convenient if you are traveling to/ from Stewart Island.

Mike and Pam were very supportive of guests. Most were one nighters on the way to/from Dtewart Island. Overnight parking while away was a big plus. We wish them well after some tough Covid years.

Good basic room in Bluff

An older hotel run by a friendly American expat. We had a room with an ensuite. Pretty basic but comfortable. Lounge across the hall had coffee and tea making equipment, a long couch and a large screen TV. Breakfast was fruit, cereal, toast, coffee and tee. We picked it because it was close to the Stewart Island ferry. She allowed us to leave our car while on the island for two nights. Very nice! Easy two block walk to the terminal.

The location is very good if you’re taking the ferry to Oban. It’s a 5 minute walk. The room we were on was hot and a fan would have made it more comfortable. But the owner/manager was very nice and offered us parking for a day while we were in Stewart Island.

Foveaux Hotel In Bluff

Our stay here was excellent. The ambience was retro with a comfortable home-like feel. Ample space in the lounge to stretch out and watch tv or read a book and the dining area was lovely. The room was a fair size and it was lovely having a private balcony. Our hosts were beyond gracious and went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was perfect. And the house cat Oliver was friendly and fun. There was a takeaway place next door for lunch and it was a short walk down the street to an excellent restaurant for evening dinner. Close to the dock and a small beach and a very short walk to the lighthouse and then a trail walk. Overall our stay was wonderful and we will definitely stay here again if we ever in Bluff again.

Owners doing their best. Cold miserable day on arrival & all just seemed a bit bleak. Big thing was no dinner available at nite. Previous reviews praised the meals highly so no word that unavailable when I booked - very disappointing. Bed cosy, heater in room, didn’t like hearing people using toilet in night (must hv been next to my room). Kind owner carried suitcase up stairs & offered me to leave car parked behind hotel. A very basic help yourself breakfast included. Felt very safe, just pretty ordinary for price.

Traditional with wonderful people

Superb. Yes, it’s a traditional hotel in the sense that it has shared bathrooms and small rooms, and it certainly has seen the passage of some time. But whatever. It’s great. The people working there take more pride in their work than I have found in a really long time. That makes this place fantastic. I really couldn’t recommend it highly enough for the simple reason that you can feel just how much the people care.

We had been stuck on Stewart Island for one of our nights due to weather and I phoned saying someone stuck on the other side could stay in our place. We found out on our return they had charged them as well as kept our money, not something we do, also told us if we wanted our money back we had to ask expedia,

Location was perfect for sight seeing. Across the street from Stewart Island ferry deport. Daily continental breakfast or Café next door for full breakfast and afternoon tea. Excellent dinner menu and food prepared to perfection. I arrived just in time for beginning of the famous Bluff Oyster season. Have to let them know in morning if you will want dinner that evening. Old Hotel from 1930's under new ownership, renovations coming. Has unique comfy atmosphere, very clean, and warm friendly host Mike & Pam.
