"Julian was a great host "

"Heather gave us a very warm welcome. Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and so very comfortable with everything you could ask for and more. One of the best places we have ever stayed in."

"everything was perfect; however I wish it were possible to watch tv in bed. I understand why the room is set up the way it is, but putting the tv on a swing arm would make it even better."

"Great place to stay. accommodation and rooms were very good. Very quiet relaxing mornings. "

"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."

"I had an amazing stay here during my five-week Oceania trip. My first night was unexpected—I needed an ambulance to the local hospital after a fall on the ferry—but the staff at Bay Vista were incredibly attentive throughout the whole ordeal. They checked on me during the ambulance visit and followed up the next day to make sure I was doing okay (four sutures along my hairline). A special shout-out to Maddie, who was exceptionally caring and checked on me several times. The location is absolutely beautiful, and it has definitely set the bar high for future stays along the southern New Zealand coast. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness and support during a very stressful moment. You all truly rock!"
