Swain-selected stayQueen Charlotte Sound, South IslandBay of Many CovesA distinctive base for a journey designed around you.Selected by our Destination ExpertsExploreThe storyGalleryExperiencesPlan your stayThe stayWhat to know about this stay.Bay of Many Coves holds one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments plus a premium Kereru Suite on Queen Charlotte Sound, accessible only by boat or helicopter, with just 10 guest rooms and on-site staff making it the only establishment for miles in either direction. As a member of Luxury Lodges of New Zealand, Bay of Many Coves carries one of a select handful of memberships awarded only to properties meeting the association's exacting standards.That isolation is the whole draw: kayaking and paddleboarding right off the resort's own shoreline, and hiking a stretch of the Queen Charlotte Track connected to more than six kilometers of the resort's own private trails, all without seeing another property for miles. The Foredeck restaurant's three-course dinner is included nightly, since there is nowhere else nearby to eat.

The Foredeck restaurant's three-course dinner is included nightly, which matters more here than at a typical hotel since there is nowhere else nearby to eat.
