We’ve just had the most wonderful few days at Bay of Many Coves. A winter break which we loved as everywhere was so peaceful. Our room had a sensational view, we were extremely well looked after and the food was simply delicious. There were fabulous walking and boating opportunities which we took advantage of. We loved the wildlife and native bush. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning ourselves.

We had the absolute best experience ever at Bay of Many Coves. This is the best place we have ever been too. The staff all went above and beyond and were so friendly. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Well done to an excellent Chef. The location was beautiful, peaceful and an easy boat ride from Picton. The accommodation was next level and well positioned for the most amazing views. We cant wait to return sometime in the future. Well done to the team and management for ensuring our stay was superb.

What an incredible experience! Really thoughtfully designed apartments, each one looks like it has a private view of the cove. We took the row boat out during the day and had a delicious breakfast and dinner during our two nights there. We felt very well taken care of, there are many hikes around the property including a glowworm area you can visit at night. Also we visited during the off-season and hardly encountered anyone on the track. Will always remember this experience!

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!!
