Location & Parking

This Bluff hotel sits on a quiet street, a 3-minute walk from the Stewart Island ferry terminal.

Meeting and banquet facilities are available on-site for small events or work groups. A paid airport shuttle provides pick-up and drop-off from Invercargill Airport (18 mi away). The hotel also offers accessible parking and a designated smoking area.
