Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location was excellent, the accommodation was excellent, the staff were excellent. There were 4 in our party and we had the place to ourselves. The staff lit the fire so we could sit around after dinner and enjoy a wine.
The rooms were on the small size so we were struggling to manoeuvre around our bags. We had to make enquiries to find out that the restaurants in town were all closed. It would have been good if the hotel website had told us this as the opening times online are not that accurate.
房間很舒舒
Great location, cozy room and very friendly staff. Love the room view facing to the ocean. Spacious parking space.
Breakfast selection very limited.
Spectacular view, and special to be at the southern point of Te Wai Pounamu The Oyster Cove next door serves up delicious food.
Understanding that the isolation can create the higher price point, however parts of the property fejt tired. Little touches such as current travel magazines or books on the area could help elevate the promise of a luxury stay.
Location was perfect to catch the ferry to Stewart island . The views and sound of surf from our room were wonderful . Lovely staff greeting us , helping a and serving us a beautiful breakfast
Quaint hotel. Rooms were warm and comfortable and clean. View of ocean was magic. Oyster restaurant next door is a tourist trap.
位置、服务都非常好,华人开的店,非常亲切
设施比较老了,厕所潮湿味道
Quirky
You come to the very end of bluff to enjoy the serenity of the surroundings and the beautiful boutique hotel. Its a superb hotel but may not be everyones cup of tea. We loved the peace and quiet.
Breakfast could be a little more variety but we really didnt mind given that the location made up for any shortcomings.
We liked the unique location at the southernmost point in NZ Sami was friendly and very helpful There is a good restaurant next door, which is very convenient. Otherwise its a 15-20 minute drive back into Bluff Sami served an excellent breakfast
We were in the disabled room (not requested or required). It is a nice room with a view over the ocean. The only problem was an illuminated EXIT sign over the door (presumably a legal requirement). The bright light from the sign disrupted our sleep.
Gute Lage, gutes Frühstück, nettes Personal
Hat alles gepasst
Location is great and right next door to amazing walks. The owner/manager is lovely.
In desperate need of a makeover. Everything very tired.
Die Lage ist toll - direkt am Signpost gelegen mit schönem Blick auf das Meer. Rezeptionist Andy war wirklich freundlich und superbemüht. Immer mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen.
Wir hatten ein normales Doppelzimmer. Es war extrem klein und von der Ausstattung echt in die Jahre gekommen. Das Frühstück bestand aus Toast und Marmelade und Ei auf Wunsch. Kein Käse, keine Wurst, kein Obst, kein Joghurt und nur eine geringe Auswahl Müsli. Das wäre im Prinzip ok, wenn das Zimmer nicht knapp 200 Euro kosten würde. Die Leistung, die man dafür bekommt, ist einfach nicht angemessen. Hier zahlt man allein für die Lage. Wir würden nicht wiederkommen.
Sami was extremely helpful and very kind. Great service!!!
I didnt dislike anything.
Sandy was outstanding.

Beautiful location. Andy was extremely welcoming. Breakfast included in the morning was wonderful.
Excellent view, perfect location, very friendly staff!
Place feels dated, especially the toilet and the carpets.
Location & Restaurant & Staff
La posizione si è rivelata comodissima.
Il rapporto qualità prezzo è scarso. Molto caro per una struttura vecchia e con qualche difetto di manutenzione: infissi poco isolanti, doccino con perdite, etc. Il buffet della colazione comprendeva due uova cucinate a piacere a testa, dei toast, dei cereali, burro e marmellata industriale. Il nome boutique hotel mi ha creato delle aspettative decisamente più alte rispetto alla realtà trovata. In ultimo, pareti molto sottili hanno reso necessario l’utilizzo di tappi per le orecchie, altrimenti il russare del vicino sarebbe stato insopportabile.
I loved the view of the ocean. I loved that it was right next door to a restaurant. The accommodation was tidy and the staff member who welcomed us to our room was very pleasant and gave us a warm welcome. Overall experience A+ would highly recommend to friends and family for future stays
Nothing to complain about on my end.
Ein edles altes Hotel, sehr gepflegt, sauber und man fühlt sich wohl!
Very cosy and comfortable room overlooking the sea. The service was really good.
The property is in a great location…close to the restaurant Oyster Cove and the ferry terminal
The room was a bit small and needed some updating
Incredible location and views. Helpful staff.
“Boutique” description seems a stretch, room quite small and standard. Very expensive given quality of accommodation - same for restaurant next door, food was average (guess we paid for the amazing views!)
The outlook of the area promised great views to the ocean. The property was promoted as being an impressive looking premises positioned prominately in front of the sea.
Unfortunately the property failed to deliver as it was quite tired and required some matainence to bring it up to the standard being charged for at a premium price. A water view had been requested but wasnot delivered instead a garden view room (if you can call two pot plant one of which was dead a garden). The overall condition of the property did not live up to the expectations of the images and price charged on booking.com
Location is beautiful
All good, better than expected
Stunning location on the water! Staff very kind and helpful.
Nothing.
The hotel is at the end of the road, at the end of South island :) carpark close to the rooms. Loose tea, teapot and fancy coffee on the top of the fridge in the bedroom. Heatpump, electric blanket and duvet. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner available in the shower. Breakfast served moring from 8 to 9 am with eggs cooked as you want.
Mattress very hard without topper, for this price I was excepting an amazing bed :( no curtain at the windows, just store Water in the shower ultra powerfull (too much), splasing everywhere (even if the shower head is leaking)
The view is stunning. And my daughter got an upgrade of her room, so she was also at the first floor in a room with a view.
It's a lot a money, for former glory. I think the hotel was very grand a view years ago, but now it looked tired in the rooms and hallway.
Beautiful situation at Land's End. Easy parking. We stayed 2 nights before and after our trip to Stewart Island and both times had very good rooms facing the sea. Samantha drove us to the ferry and picked us up on our return, and generally looked after us. Good breakfast included. Large restaurant next door with spectacular views.
Nothing
Friendly and accommodating hosts and lovely ocean views from the room. We appreciated being dropped off / picked up at the ferry terminal.
Schönes Hotel, geräumige Zimmer. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder dort buchen.
位置极佳,非常安静,景色美丽!
The staff were wonderful and made us feel very comfortable. The rooms were clean and tidy and had a lovely view of the ocean. Overall it was a pleasant experience
To make this more luxurious perhaps more use of the facilities would be good. As the restaurant closed at 7.30 and the town wa spretty much closed up we thought that, the lovely lounge setting could be a great spot for a small cosy bar setting, for a simple wine, whisky or tea by the fire while admiring the view.
It’s in a great location and Samantha was lovely. It was super useful to be able to leave our car there to go to Stewart island.
It’s not really what I was expecting in terms of boutique. If you can’t see the sea from your room then it’s a bit drab and there’s nothing to make it stand out. The breakfast was only continental with an egg option which was also a bit disappointing.
Great staff, location and bed
Shower needs upgrade
Views from the window’s & proximity to the lovely walks.
It’s advertised as a boutique hotel but it’s very tired in places. The carpet is fraying in several areas, wall paper is coming away from the walls. Our bathroom had mould in the ceiling and smelt damp. The breakfast was very limited. It’s expensive for what it is sadly.
Stunning location
Historic building- gorgeous rooms
Locatie is fantastisch! Vriendelijk personeel.
Niets
Location. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast included eggs
Our room was not made up on second night of our stay. It looked like maybe they were interrupted. Room was not large but the view made up for it.
location
Rooms had been renovated , but carpet torn in parts, toilet holder fell off the wall. very basic breakfast.
Stunning location. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was good with a great selection. Rooms clean and tidy with a great selection of tea and coffee.

Emplacement exceptionnel Personnel adorable et efficace Vue spectaculaire depuis certaines chambres Ambiance cottage Hôtel situé au départ de très chouettes randonnées
Les chambres sont petites donc pour deux personnes avec bagage c'est compliqué Du coup le rapport qualité prix est un peu décevant
Location
That entire property is not soundproof, I could hear people talking and walking from the other end of the building.
Perfect stay, great room and amazing views. The hotel is a perfect spot when visiting the south. Good breakfast although it could have more options such as fruit.
Nothing.
Beautifully located at a very picturesque spot. We received a very warm welcome and excellent level of service from Samantha, which made our short stay pleasant and memorable.
Great location at Lands End. Room with view of sea. Attentive staff.
Potential for noise from public carpark.
Lage herausragend, Personal sehr freundlich
Sehr kleine Zimmer, Bad sehr basic. Duschvorhang und sehr kleines Waschbecken. Wit hatten das Rollstuhlzimmer bekommen und trotzdem alles Mini.
Friendly, helpful staff. The room had lovely ocean views and was comfortable and clean.
The property is close to the road, noisy cars during the night
Great place to stay with the best staff, friendly and helpful.
Loved it all.
Amazing location! The rooms are comfortable and super clean. Staff is wonderful.

Room with good view and facilities. Second floor can be accessed from car park. Very friendly staff.

Amazing location and really wonderful staff
Sammie was an exceptional hostess. Such a pleasure to deal with. Room was comfortable and clean. The quality of the food at the restaurant was amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Bluff.
VIEW LOCTION
Obviously a beautiful location and the receptionist was friendly and cheerful. Nice dining room and a simple breakfast.
This was such a disappointing experience. Not even close to being a boutique hotel, barely better than a three star motel. We were given a disabled bathroom, not sure why, but it looked like a bad hostel. Shower seat was dirty. The entire room flooded when the shower was used and stayed wet the following morning. The face washer was threadbare. The walls are paper thin - you can hear people talking and using the toilet and showers in neighbouring rooms. The view was great, but that was about the only positive. No luxurious touches, it was barely comfortable.
Amazing hosts, went above and beyond for us! Thank you for the ferry drop off and pick up !! Great location. Luxury room, a real treat after tripping around
Wish we stayed more than one night
Amazing location and views out to sea. Beautiful most comfortable bed. Great property, private and peaceful.
Just to note that the restaurant next door is the closest option for dinner, if it’s closed there’s not a lot in Bluff for dinner so good to plan ahead.
Loved staying here
It is a lovely guest house but needs a little TLC. The host Sam was absolutely wonderful.
Very scenic
Owner and his staff were very kind, professional and helpful.
The host, Andy, couldn't have been more accommodating if he tried. We got in later than expected and he quickly rang the restaurant next door and arranged for them to stay open for us so we could have some delicious Bluff oysters. Andy had turned the heater on in our room, so it was nice and toasty when we got there (it was around 1° outside). It's the little things like this that can make a holiday wonderful.
Amazing service, very friendly
We came to this hotel because it was one of the farthest points in the south. We were hoping to see the lights, but no such luck. It was still a quaint hotel with an amazing view. The breakfast included was good as well. If travel take you to Bluff, this is the must stay hotel.
Wonderful location. Very private with breathtaking views. The hostess has a wonderful eye for detail. All the accessories in the bedroom and bathroom made it feel special cozy and warm. The teas were divine. Breakfast was delicious. So nice to have a true boutique hotel experience with a lovely personal touch.
Incredible stay. Million dollar views. Hosts were incredibly kind and friendly. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
The woman running the place, Sami, was AMAZING. I loved the place, but she took it to another level. Very friendly and personable. Would definitely go back there.
We had an awesoe seafood dinner and a very flash breakfast. Top marks to the staff.
No problems all went very well.
Great views from the room and breakfast lounge. Great service from Andy, Mary and the team made it more like a B&B with family. Continental breakfast included eggs cooked to go with toast cereal and fruit. Super comfortable bed and luxe pillows.
Bathroom in room 4 we had was smaller than expected in a deluxe wording but was ok.
The host was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were nice and we had a lovely view of the sea.
The level entry shower meant that water went out onto the bathroom floor so a very soggy bathmat! The walls are also very thin - we had a snorer in the next room!
Beautiful sunrise good spot for a walk
No-one there when we arrived but clear instructions on how to find someone
