Description

Nestled in central Bluff, this cozy cottage-style hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with harbor-view balconies, warm communal spaces and a relaxed, home-like atmosphere. Owners Mike and Pam provide attentive, personalized hospitality—early breakfasts on request, helpful local tips and secure off-street parking with CCTV and indoor storage for bikes. Guests praise comfy beds, good showers, complimentary tea and continental breakfast, plus an easy 2-minute walk to the ferry and nearby restaurants. Not luxurious, but excellent value for travelers heading to Stewart Island or shark cage diving.

This charming Art Deco hotel from the 1930s features wonderful hosts and cozy, inviting rooms. A special bonus is the availability of a bath! It's undoubtedly the best place to stay in Bluff, Ohio, and it even has a haunted reputation!

Absolutely loved this stop. We were in late but Mike waited up for us. He had great recommendations for us around the area. The rooms are very nice, the bed soft, and the quick breakfast in the morning really helped us get going. We're planning on staying again! Service: 5

This place is fantastic, stayed three nights this week whilst down in Invercargill for business. Mike Pam are wonderful hosts, you are made to feel very welcome, its like staying in someones private home. They are genuinely interested in their guests and nothing at all is too much trouble. The local Bluff restaurants are great also very friendly places. Thanks Mike Pam Service: 5
