Kaka Retreat Motel, Stewart Island 4 stars
Half-moon Bay
Nestled amongst peaceful native bushland, Kaka Retreat Motel, Stewart Island offers spacious modern suites with kitchenette, flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Free transfers to and from the airport and ferry terminal are available. The space was amazing loved the layout. Lovely couch, table and bed space plus outside.
The Bay Motel 4 stars
Half-moon Bay
With panoramic views of the Tasman Sea, The Bay Motel overlooks Halfmoon Bay on Stewart Island. It features a nearby golf course, a free shuttle service and free private parking on site.
The Bay Motel is a 5-minutes’ walk from shops and restaurants; its location allows many hiking and trekking possibilities in the native forests of Rakiura National Park.
the hotel's just a ten-minute walk from the ferry terminal, was incredibly convenient. It made our arrival hassle-free. I must especially commend the warmth and hospitality of the hotel owners. We arrived on the earliest ferry, and they not only sent someone to greet us at the pier but also facilitated our early check-in, sparing us the wait until the official check-in time.
The room was impressively clean and even featured a small kitchenette, which proved to be a lifesaver for preparing baby food for my little one. The thoughtful provision of a complimentary baby cot was a pleasant surprise, and the valuable tips and recommendations for exploring the island and dining options were greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

Lovely owners, really enjoyed our brief stay at The Bay Motel. We did not manage to contact the property for a pick up but somehow they showed up with transport at the pier seems like they do for all customers. It was a cold day and the heater was already on when we got there. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Will be back on my next visit to Stewart Island.

Would highly recommend this motel and would definitely stay there again! Appreciated the shuttle pick up from the ferry; great location as it's an easy walk into Oban; fantastic views; clean, spacious and well set out rooms; great value for money and really helpful, friendly and obliging manager. Best customer service and motel stay experience I have had for a long time.
