Bay of Many Coves Resort

I went half way around the world to celebrate a special birthday. Reaching the 7th floor with my wife and 27 yr old daughter and boyfriend ~I was looking to splurge a little and boy did we hit a bullseye! From the onset, we were treated like royalty, but not too much very relaxed. The accommodations were perfect two bedrooms and a nice living area and deck overlooking our beautiful cove. They have kayaks and we took a cruise just the four of us out into the coves… They suggested we tried to reach across the bay to a spot where Hector dolphins were seen the smallest of the dolphin family and very rare… See the video we struck gold , what a treat! Every night the menu was different and the chef prepared a wonderful prefix dinner that you can choose from and I can tell you it was all so good ~breakfast too. What a great way to start my 70th year! And if you’re lucky enough, and Nicholas is still the masseuse there, don’t miss out and get one of the best massages I’ve ever received in my life! His girlfriend is the sommelier, she recommended a great montepulciano~yum!!!

We recently spent two nights at the Bay of Many Coves Resort to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.|Location is amazing. It is a real hidden paradise - peaceful and scenic. |The service was outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. Nothing was ever too much trouble.|Our room was spacious. The bed deserves a special mention – easily a 10/10 for comfort!|The food was another highlight. Every meal was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We felt so spoiled every evening after a full day exploring the sounds.|It was a memorable experience in every way. We’ll absolutely be back!

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.

Beautiful location and very kind and helpful staff. Chase was great. We felt it was a very nice hotel in the area, but it doesn’t stack up to other luxury lodges in New Zealand. It’s a great resort and we enjoyed our time. Pacing for dinner was inconsistent but the food was generally of good quality.

We had a wonderful time at Bay of Many Coves, and the location is stunning! We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with kitchenette which was perfect with beautiful views of the Marlborough Sound. Very clean, excellent service and fantastic food! A wonderful atmosphere and local hikes above the resort.

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 - there is a track that goes to a waterfall which we did each day before dinner. 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. One the evening we had prawns, kingfish with blue-cheese risotto, and beef ribs. 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.

Truly an incredible resort, this was a once in a lifetime type stay and we were not disappointed! Its location is unique, peaceful and no matter which room you stay they all point out to those views amongst the native wildlife! Dinner was just as incredible, red snapper with champagne truffle risotto was a wow dish!|Everyone we met from our greeting to our check out were inviting, friendly and showed a genuine interest in the rest of our trip! If you plan to visit NZ this should be included for a slice of paradise and a breather before you continue on through the south island

We were fortunate to experience the Bay of Coves with a day of clear skies and then another day with cloud cover. The rooms are ideally appointed, food and service excellent, and the pool and hot tub, a refreshing experience after a day of hiking.
