Loved everything. Helen is an outstanding host, starting with picking us up from the ferry terminal then dropping us back. Breakfasts were superb. Assistance with tour details freely given, books offered, so much more. I have been travelling globally and this is the best I have ever experienced.

You don't need to spend money on tours if you don't have it...

You don't need to spend money on tours if you don't have it (I never do), as there are plenty of beautiful walks to discover for yourself. Ulva Island is a must, though!!! The bird life is amazing, and even though at home we have plenty of kereru, piwakawaka, bellbirds, the song and sight of these guys over there is next level. Kereru, walking or sitting on the ground, is not seen in cities. Do take sandfly spray as these wee guys are also very friendly 😉

The township of Oban is the place to find out most info, access e-bikes and get details of walks, kiwis, trips to places such as Ulva Island. It’s the central township for the island. Glad it has a four square, friendly people at the Doc site. Butterfield Bay is gorgeous.

Great place. I would have liked more time to do more walks.

Great place. I would have liked more time to do more walks. We stayed 2 nights - just enough to do a kiwi experience and visit Ulva Island. We were unlucky with no Kiwi sightings. But the longer walks would have green goid to do if we had more time.

We loved Stewart Island and our travel by ferry to Half Moon...

We loved Stewart Island and our travel by ferry to Half Moon Bay. We ate several meals at South Sea Restaurant. Delicious! Several walks, beaches and sights were within easy walking distance. We took a taxi from our accommodations to Golden Bay for our Beaks and Feathers Tour to Ulva Island which we would highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, the birds and trees.

Very peaceful and quaint area that is brilliant for walking to see stunning scenery and enjoy the wildlife. Lots of well made pathways and with the island roads being quiet it was easy to explore the numerous beautiful sandy bays. I will definitely come back to enjoy more of this fabulous area.

Beautiful place with lovely people.

Beautiful place with lovely people. Good range of shops although only a few. The new Museum is definitely worth viewing but quite pricey. Stunning bird life and scenery. Totally awesome place and people.

The most comfortable thick duvet on the best. Such a good nights sleep. A short walk up the hill to reach the property from the ferry terminal. Everything we needed for our short stay was there. Our host let us know we only had a short amount of time if we wanted food at the hotel in the village, so glad of this or we would have missed it.

Centrally located hotel. We stayed in a studio room which was large with a comfortable bed, private bathroom and kitchenette. It was private with minimal road noise and easy access to Stewart Islands main street. Easy walk from the ferry. There isn't a view as the studios are at the rear of the hotel.

This small boutique hotel is a gem. Sat just above the bay great views from our room and a very short walk to the harbour and facilities. The owners Deanne and Chris really looked after us and the food was exceptional. A welcoming Alfie the dog was just an extra bonus!

We were met from the boat and taken to the hotel so we didn't have to find it or lug our bags up the hill. The location was great for going to other parts of the island. The room opened onto a verandah with table and chairs so we could sit outside on a sunny evening.

Very nicely thought out amenities for a backpacker hotel. I had a single room which was just a bed. It was a nice way to experience the shared facilities as a solo traveler. I made a homemade meal to get a break from all restaurant food.
