Overall Ratings & Reviews Foveaux Hotel

Easy to find, not far from the Ferry, only problem was the stairs, no lift.

Proprietor was very helpful and the continental breakfast was very good.

This property is a rare find. Enjoyed the hospitality of host Mike who loves mixing with his guests. Great little house bar and the complimentary continental breakfast starts the day off well. Nothing is a problem for Mike. Would definitely stay here again

Mike and Pam were very supportive of guests. Most were one nighters on the way to/from Dtewart Island. Overnight parking while away was a big plus. We wish them well after some tough Covid years.

Old hotel with friendly staff in a location Bluff that was run down with little other facilities in the area.

The location is very good if you’re taking the ferry to Oban. It’s a 5 minute walk. The room we were on was hot and a fan would have made it more comfortable. But the owner/manager was very nice and offered us parking for a day while we were in Stewart Island.

Our stay here was excellent. The ambience was retro with a comfortable home-like feel. Ample space in the lounge to stretch out and watch tv or read a book and the dining area was lovely. The room was a fair size and it was lovely having a private balcony. Our hosts were beyond gracious and went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was perfect. And the house cat Oliver was friendly and fun. There was a takeaway place next door for lunch and it was a short walk down the street to an excellent restaurant for evening dinner. Close to the dock and a small beach and a very short walk to the lighthouse and then a trail walk. Overall our stay was wonderful and we will definitely stay here again if we ever in Bluff again.

Friendly and accommodating hosts. Mike and Pam were very welcoming and helpful. Very comfortable beds. Great location close to the ferry terminal and 30 minutes walk to Stirling Point. Supermarket 2 minutes walk, excellent fish and chip shop right next door.

Owners doing their best. Cold miserable day on arrival & all just seemed a bit bleak. Big thing was no dinner available at nite. Previous reviews praised the meals highly so no word that unavailable when I booked - very disappointing. Bed cosy, heater in room, didn’t like hearing people using toilet in night (must hv been next to my room). Kind owner carried suitcase up stairs & offered me to leave car parked behind hotel. A very basic help yourself breakfast included. Felt very safe, just pretty ordinary for price.

GOOD CHOICE OF HOTEL IN BLUFF. CLEAN COMFORTABLE AND EXCELLENT HOSTS

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Making sure we had everything we needed.

Very friendly hosts, went the extra mile to make us welcome.

Too expensive.Not worth. This piece.I can live better. No more private space.

Lovely friendly proprietors who really made one feel at home. The facilities were nice and clean

The authentic old—style atmosphere accompanied by friendly service and good facilities

A great old pub.lovely hosts and very warm on a cold day

Superb. Yes, it’s a traditional hotel in the sense that it has shared bathrooms and small rooms, and it certainly has seen the passage of some time. But whatever. It’s great. The people working there take more pride in their work than I have found in a really long time. That makes this place fantastic. I really couldn’t recommend it highly enough for the simple reason that you can feel just how much the people care.

Extremely helpful and friendly hosts. Safe car parking, complimentary breakfast. Property a bit old but new owners making a lot of improvements.

This is a quaint b&b located right near the Stewart Island ferry. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. My bed was so comfy. Definitely will be back.

Very basic room with limited power points, but we managed with our own adapters. Nice complimentary breakfast. We were allowed to park at the hotel for our one-night stay at Stewart Island, and the ferry is only minutes walk away.
