Bay of Many Coves  

Perched in Maraetai Bay, this beach‑lodge sits about 8 km from the town center and roughly 21.6 km from the Queen Charlotte Walkway. It’s close to Waikawa Marina and Motuara Island for easy water‑side adventures.

Sophisticated but comfy vibes: just 11 individually furnished rooms with private balconies and outdoor private hot tubs. In‑room perks include flat‑screen TVs, minibars and safes, while the property keeps things accessible with an elevator and attentive concierge service.

Soak in an outdoor pool, unwind in a hot tub or treat yourself at the on‑site spa with massages, body treatments and facials. There’s a library, bar, café and restaurant on property, plus free Wi‑Fi, parking, laundry, car rental assistance and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge).

Conference and banquet halls make this a solid pick for meetings or small events, with concierge support, luggage storage and complimentary wireless internet to keep things running smoothly.

Dine at the restaurant for local flavors, grab snacks or coffee at the café, or enjoy drinks in the bar/lounge. Cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are served daily from 8:00–11:00 AM (fee), and room service is available.
