'The jewel of the Marlborough Sounds'

“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. 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. 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.”

“We’ve just had the most wonderful few days at Bay of Many Coves. A winter break which we loved as everywhere was so peaceful. Our room had a sensational view, we were extremely well looked after and the food was simply delicious.
There were fabulous walking and boating opportunities which we took advantage of. We loved the wildlife and native bush. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning ourselves.”

“Incredible location with unreal views and surrounding scenery. Wonderful service and attention to detail from dietary restrictions to transportation. The staff was very communicative via email prior to check-in and helped us arrange water taxi service to and from Picton. Overall had a very relaxing stay, enjoyed delicious and well prepared food, and loved hiking and kayaking around the property. Warm and friendly staff (thank you Chase, Gabriel, Helen and others!), guest laundry was a nice plus, and pool/hot tub are very pleasant.”

“An absolute gem of a place to stay, relax and indulge! We stayed here for 4 nights on our travels through New Zealand and it exceeded expectations from the room (comfy and well appointed), location and ambiance, food and service. Helen and her full team provided us with an amazing few days and a morning dolphin treat that was much appreciated!! The staff were exceptional and the hike to the look out well worth it. Thanks so much!!”

“We had the absolute best experience ever at Bay of Many Coves. This is the best place we have ever been too. The staff all went above and beyond and were so friendly. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Well done to an excellent Chef. The location was beautiful, peaceful and an easy boat ride from Picton. The accommodation was next level and well positioned for the most amazing views.
We can't wait to return sometime in the future. Well done to the team and management for ensuring our stay was superb.”
