We stayed for two nights in our tour of New Zealand. This was our rest and relaxation in our tour and the resort didn’t disappoint. The trip from Picton through the sound is amazing and the view from and resort setting is stunning. The little cabins are very well designed with all the facilities you need and you can sit on the balcony and soak up the view. The small number of cabins makes for a personal service and experience. We didn’t do too much in our stay apart from relax, but did walk up behind the resort - very hilly and found the glow worms at night. Only mild criticism was the evening meal - tried to be very up market menu which didn’t really work with the inexperienced serving staff - would have preferred a more basic menu. Would thoroughly recommend the resort.

An absolute gem of a place to stay, relax and indulge! We stayed here for 4 nights on our travels through New Zealand and it exceeded expectations from the room (comfy and well appointed), location and ambiance, food and service. Helen and her full team provided us with an amazing few days and a morning dolphin treat that was much appreciated!! The staff were exceptional and the hike to the look out well worth it. Thanks so much!!

This was the first time we'd returned to BoMC since we got married here ten years ago. I have no idea why we waited so long, and I'm sure we will not make that mistake again. It is a beautiful setting (and we were lucky to have some unseasonably fine weather) away from the world. We enjoyed the walks to the waterfall and the lookout ... constantly followed/pestered by flirting fantails. The only real sound was bell birds, Tui, and possibly a ruru/morepork. It makes it so relaxing. The staff/service was uniformly excellent (but big shout out to Amy & Nina (& I hope I got the names correct)), and the food was better than we remember. Overall, we loved our stay and which it had been longer.

Literally nothing to find fault with! And complaining is a core skill for me. So many lovely touches (eg actual coffee beans and a grinder in our room), beautiful surroundings, everything done to a very high standard. Thank you Helen, Graham (?), Cal, Bella, and Emily

Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Helen and Thompson ( chef) were amazing and made our short stay a memorable experience. Our 5 course dinner was like a 3 star Michelin experience. The location is only accessible via helicopter or ferry.. The ferry is a short ride over from Picton and is a beautiful trip. The room was absolutely gorgeous, the views and sounds were spectacular. One of the best places we have stayed at. I would highly recommend.
