A delightful stay in a beautiful, secluded location on this sheltered bay

We were pampered throughout our stay by Chloe, Helen, Marie and the rest of the very responsive staff in this unique location. The room was very well appointed and had a fantastic view of the bay. The lush surroundings were magnificent and bird song woke us up gently every morning. We swam both in the Read more[SPLIT]Read lesspool and in the pristine waters of the bay, and took advantage of the spa for relaxing treatments. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Bay of Many Coves has a Jewel in Lodge Manager Rianne Kuiper

Rianne is what sets this small boutique hotel apart from any other. She greeted us warmly as soon as we stepped off the boat. Her infectious smile and extraordinary service went above and beyond, and we very much appreciated them. Rianne made us feel welcome and set the tone for the memorable experience Read more[SPLIT]Read lessmy husband and I enjoyed at the Bay of Many Coves and its surroundings. The resort hotel is located in a unique cove with extraordinary views. Our room had windows that opened to these stunning vistas. Besides that, we also had a wonderful balcony to enjoy all these views. It is fair to say that the Bay of Many Coves hotel lodge presented us with postcard-perfect views of the bay, and we enjoyed just hanging out in our room and taking it all in. Of course, we didn’t stay inside the whole time, but we also went for hikes. Back at the hotel, we greatly enjoyed the delicious food and friendly hospitality. It was difficult to say goodbye to Rianne and the Bay of Many Coves hotel!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Graeme and Kim were fabulous hosts and really went the extra mile to look after us. The whole team at BOMC are all brilliant. We had the best 2 days of our trip with fantastic scenery, lots of trip options, kayaking (which we really enjoyed) and a favour spa experience after a long walk to the Queen Read more[SPLIT]Read lessCharlotte Track Ridge. Just the most spectacular accommodation in the most spectacular location. An absolute dream. We will be back.
