10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

Easy to find, not far from the Ferry, only problem was the stairs, no lift.

Proprietor was very helpful and the continental breakfast was very good.

This property is a rare find. Enjoyed the hospitality of host Mike who loves mixing with his guests. Great little house bar and the complimentary continental breakfast starts the day off well. Nothing is a problem for Mike. Would definitely stay here again
Tony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Old hotel with friendly staff in a location Bluff that was run down with little other facilities in the area.
Frank, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Friendly family run hotel

Friendly and accommodating hosts. Mike and Pam were very welcoming and helpful. Very comfortable beds. Great location close to the ferry terminal and 30 minutes walk to Stirling Point. Supermarket 2 minutes walk, excellent fish and chip shop right next door.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Extremely helpful and friendly hosts. Safe car parking, complimentary breakfast. Property a bit old but new owners making a lot of improvements.

This is a quaint b&b located right near the Stewart Island ferry. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. My bed was so comfy. Definitely will be back.

Very basic room with limited power points, but we managed with our own adapters. Nice complimentary breakfast. We were allowed to park at the hotel for our one-night stay at Stewart Island, and the ferry is only minutes walk away.
Kok Hui, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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,

Fabulous hotel and owners

This is a great old hotel run by a delightful couple. The meals in the dining room are wonderful. A great place to stay before or after Stewart Island.
Graeme, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Family run business. This hotel puts the service back into the hotel industry. The owners are interested in your comfort and enjoyment and have gone out of their way to be sure my stay has been enjoyable. I’m so glad I extended my stay in Bluff instead of returning to Invercargill after a visit here. This has been the best experience ever.
