We got an amazing (upgraded) large spotless-clean room. It had a terrace with a great view of the bay. The staff were very kind and friendly and told us about all the activities they have on premises - which we enjoyed a lot. We had a delicious dinner at their restaurant - every dish was top-notch. Our whole experience had a very premium, luxurious feel from start to finish - a must-stay if walking the QCT!

Quirky Waterfront Accommodation

Waterfront accommodation with lots of sculptures and wildlife throughout the grounds. The food was excellent and they provide packed lunch options for people walking the Queen Charlotte Track. Highly recommend the bath house experience if you're looking to relax!

Loved the animal feeding tour and the art installations in unexpected places. Appreciated all the facilities available to guests, such as the trails, hammock and kayaks. The boats and gear would benefit from a bit more care.

Beautiful location for a couple of nights. Loved the animals. Only thing that let it down was the restaurant. The food sounded delicious on the menu but that’s where it stopped. Food was expensive and lacked any sort of flavour.

We enjoyed the great surprises and variety of information along the local walk around the property, the main attraction been Grumpys camp. The staff were polite and friendly. However the dining experience could of been a little bit better with the seafood chowder been a bit hotter (as it was just warm) and also had a small piece of broken mussel shell which might of been a choke hazard to someone maybe not familiar with eating shellfish, also the pork belly was very nice but needed to have a crispy skin to make it a 10/10. Otherwise a very enjoyable experience. Thanks.

Couples timeout

Nice place...friendly staff...would recommend for an overnight stay but wouldnt recommend longer...focus is more on day trippers from Picton not on those paying top dollar to stay in the accommodation. The water taxi is charged on top of accommodation which should be included if you are staying I feel, as there is no road to drive there... Room service doesnt get done till very late in the day and we had to chase up towels, toilet paper etc. Maybe not enough staff but maybe 2 seperate staff groups would work better...one for day trippers one focused on accommodation. Overal a relaxing stay in a comfortable room.

The staff were incredibly helpful. One of them, in Picton before we got on the ferry, told us how to see the bioluminescence, which was fantastic. The young man who took us around to feed the animals and the marine biologist who told us about the marine life on the viewing platform were incredibly knowledgable. The room was pretty and we had a good view if we sat outside. We also loved the hammocks and the glow worms.
