Beautiful location and views. Great for walking the Queen Charlotte Track. Kind receptionists helped us customise a day trip - booking a (30 min.) ride with the ferry to Bay of Most Coves and getting permission to walk on a private track (90 min.) linking to The Queen Charlotte Track (4 hrs). We appreciated the upgrade to suite 52 with sound views, following our three night booking.

We stayed here 8 years ago and the rooms were pretty run down . What a pleasant surprise to see they had been given a makeover ! Lamb to die for and the smoked salmon eggs Benedict was top class. Excellent friendly service and they even provided a complimentary shuttle up the hill to the start of the QC track . Wonderful!
