From the moment we arrived on the dock, we felt welcomed. Helen, assistant manager, gave us a through orientation on the meals, and activities. It was very helpful and we did some recommended hikes and kayaked. The bird life around the lodge is amazing! The room was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. We came back renewed and ready to journey onward.

We were fortunate to experience the Bay of Coves with a day of clear skies and then another day with cloud cover. The rooms are ideally appointed, food and service excellent, and the pool and hot tub, a refreshing experience after a day of hiking.

We had a wonderful time at Bay of Many Coves, and the location is stunning! We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with kitchenette which was perfect with beautiful views of the Marlborough Sound. Very clean, excellent service and fantastic food! A wonderful atmosphere and local hikes above the resort.

Magic place with very friendly, helpful staff and great service. Facilities are rather old and not to the level of the rather high price
