Highlights

Location: 20 meters from Nelly Bay ferry terminal

Rooms: Three-Bedroom Apartments with private plunge pools

Amenities: Two swimming pools overlooking Mount Cook National Park

Dining: Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar with marina views

“Location is a major asset, placing guests within an easy walk of the ferry and local shops; the grounds are attractive, with well-maintained pools. However, some rooms could use refurbishment, and there are reports of inconsistent service. With some attention to detail, this could truly be a top destination.”
