We loved everything about this place, especially the fact that exclusive use of a little car to run around in while you stay at Evening Cove was included in the tariff. We were welcomed at the ferry terminal by Lionel on our arrival, and later met Cassandra, they are the most delightful hosts you could wish for. The accommodation was perfect, every box was ticked for us.

The location was great. Just across the road to the beach. There wasn't any breakfast provided but we managed just fine as we had taken some supplies with us.

Unique experience all around & all together-being one with nature-the design of the glass cabin. Perfect temperature, layout, design, bedding. WE LOVED IT! No Kiwi SEEN by the cabin area but a walk down the main road resulted in a sighting! The STARS above you & it’s no dream.

Owners were super lovely and helped return an item I left on the island asap! They picked us up from the ferry and had a courtesy car we could hire during our stay which was invaluable. Cabins are fairly close to each other but private enough we could enjoy our stay. Had washer and dryer available if needed.

Half-moon bay is a great base to explore Stewart Island.

Half-moon bay is a great base to explore Stewart Island. It has a small supermarket, 2 coffee shops and several tour operators. The highlight of our trip was doing the Kiwi spotlighting tour with beaks and feathers - got see at least 5 kiwis in the wild. We also did a tour to Ulva island and then later went back by water taxi to do the other walks there and bird spotting. We also hired bikes to check out the other end of Stewart Island. A lovely, quiet, remote place - great for walking and birdwatching.

Stewart Island is the perfect place to go to see kiwis if you take a guided excursion. We went with Beaks and Feathers. The local people were friendly and gave advice about restaurants and activities.

You don't need to spend money on tours if you don't have it (I never do), as there are plenty of beautiful walks to discover for yourself. Ulva Island is a must, though!!! The bird life is amazing, and even though at home we have plenty of kereru, piwakawaka, bellbirds, the song and sight of these guys over there is next level. Kereru, walking or sitting on the ground, is not seen in cities. Do take sandfly spray as these wee guys are also very friendly 😉

The township of Oban is the place to find out most info, access e-bikes and get details of walks, kiwis, trips to places such as Ulva Island. It’s the central township for the island. Glad it has a four square, friendly people at the Doc site. Butterfield Bay is gorgeous.
