This is the most amazing spots I have been to in NZ. The suites are superb. Spotlessly clean and stylish. It really is in right in amongst the native bush overlooking the Bay. The grounds are beautifully maintained - simply gorgeous. We loved the little hidden areas on the grounds - the hammocks, the viewing seats, the outdoor pool and spa. There are lovely walks into the bush (a short loop or longer tracks) which were lovely too - there is a track that goes to a waterfall which we did each day before dinner. The staff were attentive and nothing ever felt like any effort. The use of the kayaks and paddle boards was seamless and easy. The room makeovers seemed to happen as if by magic. We felt completely spoilt. The food was outstanding. One the evening we had prawns, kingfish with blue-cheese risotto, and beef ribs. Literally one of the best meals I have ever had. The wine matching was great. Breakfast was also a highlight. Coffees were great. Fantastic value. The whole resort has a tranquility to it. Nice and quiet and completely relaxing. Cannot recommend it highly enough. We are definitely coming back.

Truly an incredible resort, this was a once in a lifetime type stay and we were not disappointed! Its location is unique, peaceful and no matter which room you stay they all point out to those views amongst the native wildlife! Dinner was just as incredible, red snapper with champagne truffle risotto was a wow dish! Everyone we met from our greeting to our check out were inviting, friendly and showed a genuine interest in the rest of our trip! If you plan to visit NZ this should be included for a slice of paradise and a breather before you continue on through the south island

What a beautiful place! Location is unbeatable, very secluded with the most amazing views from your window. Great way to start or finish the Queen Charlotte track. Superb food!

We recently spent two nights at the Bay of Many Coves Resort to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Location is amazing. It is a real hidden paradise - peaceful and scenic. The service was outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Our room was spacious. The bed deserves a special mention – easily a 10/10 for comfort! The food was another highlight. Every meal was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We felt so spoiled every evening after a full day exploring the sounds. It was a memorable experience in every way. We’ll absolutely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The staff were friendly, attentive, and always greeted us with big smiles. The location is perfect and the view is stunning. We were surrounded by nature and the sound of morning birdsong. We even spotted a few native birds during our stay. A special shout-out to Mark, Adam and Kevin for their excellent service. The accommodation was top-class and made our stay feel like such a treat. Highly recommended!
