Exceptionally clean accommodation, run by a truly lovely couple genuinely invested in the wellbeing of their guests and the fluffiest cat I’ve encountered in my life. Very convenient if you are traveling to/ from Stewart Island.

The location is very good if you’re taking the ferry to Oban. It’s a 5 minute walk. The room we were on was hot and a fan would have made it more comfortable. But the owner/manager was very nice and offered us parking for a day while we were in Stewart Island.

Foveaux Hotel In Bluff
Our stay here was excellent. The ambience was retro with a comfortable home-like feel. Ample space in the lounge to stretch out and watch tv or read a book and the dining area was lovely. The room was a fair size and it was lovely having a private balcony. Our hosts were beyond gracious and went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was perfect. And the house cat Oliver was friendly and fun. There was a takeaway place next door for lunch and it was a short walk down the street to an excellent restaurant for evening dinner. Close to the dock and a small beach and a very short walk to the lighthouse and then a trail walk. Overall our stay was wonderful and we will definitely stay here again if we ever in Bluff again.

Owners doing their best. Cold miserable day on arrival & all just seemed a bit bleak. Big thing was no dinner available at nite. Previous reviews praised the meals highly so no word that unavailable when I booked - very disappointing. Bed cosy, heater in room, didn’t like hearing people using toilet in night (must hv been next to my room). Kind owner carried suitcase up stairs & offered me to leave car parked behind hotel. A very basic help yourself breakfast included. Felt very safe, just pretty ordinary for price.

Hi Anonymous Sorry you did not like your stay, you did check into our very basic room. If you had spoken to us about your concerns we could have rectified the matter. posting online anonymously doesn't help find a solution for your concerns. Hopefully the rest of your stay in New Zealand lives up to your expectations.

Traditional with wonderful people
Superb. Yes, it’s a traditional hotel in the sense that it has shared bathrooms and small rooms, and it certainly has seen the passage of some time. But whatever. It’s great. The people working there take more pride in their work than I have found in a really long time. That makes this place fantastic. I really couldn’t recommend it highly enough for the simple reason that you can feel just how much the people care.

We had been stuck on Stewart Island for one of our nights due to weather and I phoned saying someone stuck on the other side could stay in our place. We found out on our return they had charged them as well as kept our money, not something we do, also told us if we wanted our money back we had to ask expedia,

As you had paid Expedia directly it is easier and quicker for you to contact them to refund your credit card. I have contacted Expedia on your behalf and they will issue you with a refund.

Location was perfect for sight seeing. Across the street from Stewart Island ferry deport. Daily continental breakfast or Café next door for full breakfast and afternoon tea. Excellent dinner menu and food prepared to perfection. I arrived just in time for beginning of the famous Bluff Oyster season. Have to let them know in morning if you will want dinner that evening. Old Hotel from 1930's under new ownership, renovations coming. Has unique comfy atmosphere, very clean, and warm friendly host Mike & Pam.

Family run business. This hotel puts the service back into the hotel industry. The owners are interested in your comfort and enjoyment and have gone out of their way to be sure my stay has been enjoyable. I’m so glad I extended my stay in Bluff instead of returning to Invercargill after a visit here. This has been the best experience ever.

Bluff Work Trip
Normally stay in Invercargill when down that way on business, but upon arrival, found Invercargill was fully booked out! But found this little Hotel across the road from where i was working in Bluff so it all worked out well. Quite a dated Hotel, but rooms was clean and tidy, and no kitchenette in rooms but a communal lounge with coffee making facilities was there.

handy to ferry
The room was lovely the service excellent but I have to say it the shared bathroom which only included a shower was horrific. This room urgently needs an update. It was so grotty that I could not use it and I expect to be able to have a shower. I was quite shocked by this i have to say. I would urge this hotel to renovate immediately.

Dear Theona: It would be impossible to clean the shower after a guest uses it. The shower is cleaned every day and fresh towels and bathmat are put in. Renovating the shower would increase the room rate drastically for the 4 rooms with share bath facilities. You have been the first person to complain about the shower in the 5 years I have owned the hotel. I would suggest you get a room with ensuite next time. The rooms with ensuite are more expensive but it would solve your problem. Hope the rest of your holiday was lovely.

Charming hotel but lacking customer focus
The hotel is a lovely old building, partly refurbished with old world charm. Fortunately we had booked the balcony room which was reasonably large but other rooms may not be as spacious. It’s conveniently located close to the ferry terminal for the trip to Stewart Island. They were short staffed so little assistance was offered, fortunately we’re quite self sufficient but the manager was helpful enough when asked. There’s a good fish and chip shop next door. Breakfast was adequate. You had to go to a communal lounge for tea/coffee but no milk supplied.

Cheap and friendly stop over
The information says TV in room, there isn't. Their own website suggests perfect romantic getaway, it isn't, it's a bit tired and the view from the balcony room is the side of an industrial unit (see photo). Having said that, if you want a cheap stop over, it's extremely friendly and welcoming, and it's clean. The food in the restaurant was delicious, although being the only couple eating it had no atmosphere and I wish we'd gone out to eat like the others staying in the hotel at the time.

RUDE owner
Let owner know b4 booking that we would be arriving late, she said no problem. Again, wrote another note in the booking reminding her of late arrival. Day of arrival I emailed her to confirm how to check in late. She then told me there was a "policy change" and I would be charged an initial $50 fee and $20 dollars for every hour after. She said she was tired of everyone arriving at "ungodly hours". I then forwarded multiple previous emails from her telling me our arrival time was fine. She then said she would honor her word but upon arrival was super rude and still told me she was charging a fee. I just wanted a bed after a very long flight and then a long drive so I let it go. But wow.... not the welcome I was expecting my first night in New Zealand. Multiple ppl the next day on my excursion had nothing good to say about the place either. Don't stay here unless you are planning to arrive well before 6pm.

I generally don't need a lot of service beyond the ordinary. But this time I had left a bag in my room after I checked out. The manager was gracious enough to offer to ship that to me saving me 6 hours drive to retrieve it. Big Thank You! I also enjoyed the art deco flavor of this building as well as much of the rest of the waterfront in Bluff.
