The Eagle - Bluff

A classic kiwi regional hotel with old school charm. Mix of tourists and people working in the town or on the ships. It's not 5* luxury but it's comfortable and Mike was a very relaxed and friendly host. Had my room all heated before I checked in gave me tips to catch the sunset and let me park my car in his parking lot for my overnight trip to Stewart Island. It's a 2 min easy walk to the ferry which is handy too. No food served in the hotel but there is a bar.

We highly recommend this hotel! Pam and Mike were great, friendly hosts with lots of recommendations for the town, and Oliver the cat was a lovely addition. The rooms were very clean and tidy and we had a lovely after dinner drink in the lounge. It was very centrally located, we only had to walk across the road to the Stewart Island Ferry. We really appreciated the hospitality and warm rooms.

What an adorable little place in Bluff! The owners are so sweet and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. We were planning to get up early for a shark dive, and the owner made sure that we would have access to an early breakfast before normal service. The rooms were comfortable and with everything we needed. Not fancy, but homey like a little cottage off the beaten path. Very easy walk to shops and restaurants. Stay here when you visit Bluff!

Highly recommended! Amazing welcome, very helpful hosts, free parking and very close to the ferry if you go to Stewart Island. Overall very good value for money. Besides our laundry was cleaned and dried for 10$ while we were on the island. Don't be put off by the old-fashioned look of the hotel, it is a very nice place to stay before or after taking the ferry to Stewart Island.

It's an older place but the staff provide excellent customer service, everything is clean and comfortable, and the breakfast had a wide variety of choices.
