South Sea Hotel - Stewart Island

The South Sea Hotel in Half Moon Bay, New Zealand is a low-key, bayside hotel that offers simple quarters and a relaxed restaurant with a terrace.

It is located in the middle of Halfmoon Bay, just a stone's throw from the beach, and is situated on the foreshore in the center of town. The hotel has a fully licensed bar, restaurant, hotel, and motel accommodation. 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.

The restaurant offers local seafood and a varied menu with daily specials. The on-site bar is a great place to meet locals, view historic photos, and learn about island life and history. The hotel is one of the older buildings on the island, so guests should not expect the comfort and tranquility of a modern building. Additionally, the hotel also offers a beach house that sleeps up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms and is equipped with a full kitchen.
