We loved Bluff Lodge & Guest House! 3 of us stayed there before and after heading to Rakiura and Kay was so lovely and hospitable, gave us a great warm room and rate while letting us park our van in her yard when we were on Rakiura. Both Kay and Atu were so kind. They run the place between them and are one of the few authentic spots catered to travellers as well as being a kooky fun place. Deffo go here and support people that genuinely care!

Nice place but laundry is not available for van users, and the local laundry is very expensive. The staff told me after I paid

Bluff Lodge is a wonderful place to stay ! Lot of space and confortable. Kay is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met ! I was in trouble with my car, I couldn't start anymore. Kay was so kind and supportive with me. Even if it's not her job, she came with me to the garage to help me with my english (because I am French ). She did everything to make my stay at Bluff as pleasant as possible despite this breakdown. I am infinitely grateful to Kay. I can only recommend this place !

This place is what travelling in a campervan is all about, quirky, fun and meeting beautiful people. We parked our camper out the back of the lodge for a night in Bluff, Kaye and Atu were a delight, gave us lots of infomation and a tour of the lodge. Best to contact in advance as there isn't much space, but everything you need for an o/n stay.

Staying here was a real highlight of our trip. Kay is a wonderful host who really took the time to get to know us and looked after us. We stayed in our van in the attached carpark for a very reasonable price, which is close to the facilities. Great for smaller vans, but the larger ones (e.g. big Mauis) wouldn't be able to fit. Really hope we get to stay here again soon!

The staff was lovely! We were able to park our campervan on their parking lot and use the shower and toilet. All for just $30/night. I recommend! You can send an email or call them to notify you of your arrival. blufflodge@gmail.com +64 27 294 5306

Extraordinary! What a nice, quirky, peculiar place. We loved it. Clean enough to stay healthy and scruffy enough to be happy. Kay is a warmhearted person, a great host. We stayed there with our campervan before, whilst and after our trip to Steward Island. If you are open minded and like the 1980-vibes, you are right at this Lodge.

Great spot if you want to sleep in your campervan (small one only like Nissan Serena / Toyota Hiace etc.) while enjoying all the facilities of the motel (kitchen, hot shower, wifi etc.). Thanks so much Kay!

A warm welcome from de lady of the guesthouse. We were able to park our campervan behind the house. We were given an explanation of where everything was located: kitchen, toilet and badroom. Excellent shower and kitchen, and all for $30 NZ. Net time I would definitely maken use of her hospitality again.

There's a small parking area behind the lodge for your van, but be aware that it's only suitable for small vehicles (our Toyota Hiace fit). For $30 a night, we also had access to the shower, toilet, kitchen, and Wi-Fi. You can leave your car while hiking on Stewart Island for $5 a night. You can call to reserve. Kay is very welcoming, thank you!
