Stewart Island's iconic South Sea Hotel is located on the foreshore, in the centre of town. It is 2 minutes’ walk from the ferry and airline terminals.

The self-contained studio units are adjacent to the main hotel building. The older-style accommodation upstairs in the main hotel offers shared facilities including a communal guest lounge overlooking the harbor, which offers tea and coffee making facilities.

Location great Meal fantastic and room ok just wish there was kettle and a fridge to keep things cool but overall great.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Excellent service. The motel van was waiting for us when we arrived in the airport shuttle. They took us back when we checked out and showed us where to store our bags so we were free to explore the island until our flight left. The staff were friendly and helpful and the motel is an easy walk to town and has stunning views.

    We only stayed one night at the motel, but it was a very nice room. The owners of the motel were also very forthcoming and friendly.

    We were collected as arranged and our luggage stored until the room was ready, we did arrive at 10.30am so expected the room to be unavailable immediatley. The staff were amazing and offered some guidence for us to be able to book the things we wanted to do. We loved being able to open the balcony doors and enjoy the bird life in the plantings that surrounded the motel. They offered us transport back to the flight hub, we did choose to to walk but the offer was appreciated. I recommend this motel.

    The room was great, the bed was comfortable. The views of the harbour from the balcony were lovely. We were greeted by host when we arrived and they took us and our luggage to our meeting point for Ulva island taxi. They took our luggage to the motel. I would recommend the bus tour of the island too.
