Formed one highlight of walking the Queen Charlottes Trail. Very isolated, charmingly rustic, beautiful views, relaxing outside hot tub.

Such a comfortable place to stay in a spectacular location. We stayed as a group of 6, in two rooms. Everyone raved about how well they slept and how comfy the beds were and how beautiful the view from each room was.
The staff were exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay
I would highly recommend The Portage Resort.

Staff were great. The restaurant/bar had a cosy atmosphere and great outlook.
There is strong WiFi across the resort, which partly made up for lack of TV (rainy weather needs). Fishing off jetty was fun.
Te Mahia Bay Resort offers accommodation in Kenepuru Sounds. The resort has a barbecue and a private beach area. A TV with satellite channels.

Supposed to walk the QC track but our daughter fell ill and so we ditched the tent this section to stay here while her fever subsided the next day. It did not, so we stayed the next day, and the next day.... and eventually we had to give up walking the track at all. Spent our 4 days at Te Mahia and maybe that was a plan. It was beautifully peaceful and just a tranquil place. Accommodation is excellent, very comfortable beds, well appointed, everything you could possibly need, plenty of hot water, friendly owner, could not fault the place. Would come back with family to spend time here again. Easy to get the boat to/from Waterfall. Just an amazing view every day. Good walks up to the lookout where you can see for miles on clear days.
This luxurious retreat with views over Picton Marina offers spacious accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a fine dining restaurant. Free gourmet breakfast is included each morning.

The accommodation was excellent, comfortable and homely. We had a very brief stay as we had an early start. Margaret and Bill provided an excellent packed breakfast for us.
Hopewell Lodge is in the heart of the Kenepuru Sound and is easily accessed by water taxi from Havelock and Te Mahia Bay.

From the moment you walk into Hopewell, you get a feeling you are staying somewhere very special. After a fun and scenic little boat ride to the property (which is part of the experience of ‘leaving the world behind’), we were greeted by warm and friendly hosts and staff. We were assisted with our luggage, along a magical short / easy path through the oasis to get to our cottage. With a view to die for, our cottage was perfect in every way, clean and everything we needed (with super comfy beds!). We could tell so much care had been taken to make our stay wonderful. Do yourself a favor and order the pizzas for dinner , homemade by our hosts. They are humongous and made with delish fresh ingredients. We enjoyed them outside on a candle lit table by a toasty fire, finished off with complimentary toasted marshmallows! We changed things up to prepare our own meals on other nights which we had fun preparing in the best shared kitchen / facilities I have ever seen! There is nothing you want for.. it has everything from basic staples to sharp knives.. something you miss during travels ! (Even includes a huge, comfy living room with a toasty fireplace the staff are constantly stoking up !) We also enjoyed freshly baked homemade bread in the morning for breakfast and delicious espressos (we are from Melbourne , so takes a lot to impress us with coffee!!!). After a long journey around the South Island, we chose to take it easy at Hopewell.. easy strolls around the property to enjoy the breathtaking views, took a bike ride, played and swam in the sound shoreline with our toddler, kayaked, read a book in the hammock overlooking pristine landscape, and an evening soak in the hot tub. But you could do as little or as much as you like, with generous hosts available to help you plan activities as you desire. We found Hopewell absolutely magical, where we got lost in relaxation and making beautiful family memories together.
Aldan Lodge offers self-contained accommodation just 4 minutes’ walk from the Picton waterfront and 8 minutes’ walk from Picton Railway Station.

We arrived off the InterIslander at 7:30 and decided to walk to the Motel not realising it was quite a long walk in the semi-dark. When we arrived the light and the heater were on which was lovely when you are tired. Next morning Greg kindly took us to the Railway Station with all our luggage.
Situated on a hillside in central Picton, Broadway Motel is a 7-minute walk from the InterIslander Ferry Terminal. Picton Railway Station, shops, cafés and bars are all less than 500 metres away.
As families grow in size, so too do the needs of a family holiday. That’s why family hotels are set up to cater for all ages, from toddlers and kids to teens and adults. Typically, you can expect restaurants with kids’ menus, games rooms, fitness centres and a pool area where children can play and parents can relax.
Quirky, fun and comfortable place to stay along the Queen Charlotte, beautiful view, yummy pizza and breakfast, host Ian was fantastic - so helpful and nothing was too much trouble
