I was beginning to regret booking a couple of nights here as it felt such a hassle having to catch the ferry and we were loving our stay at our hotel in the Marlborough region and desperately wanted to stay longer. Reluctantly we drove to Picton, unloaded our car and under overcast skies walked to the ferry terminal. The ferry left right on time and as we commenced our journey the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. The views along the Queen Charlotte Sound were amazing and we arrived at the Bay of Many Coves in glorious sunshine. The view from our apartment was spectacular and made us so very glad that we had chosen to stay here. The whole stay was incredibly relaxing and listening to the birds and the sounds over the water was wonderful. All the staff were young and friendly, which gave off a very relaxed vibe. Food in the restaurant was very good but on the second night we wanted something light having eaten lunch rather late in the day, and so we ordered a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine and sat on our balcony watching the sun go down. Breakfast was very good , a lovely selection of fresh food buffet style but also a menu to order a variety of dishes. Home made cake was on offer during the afternoon, along with coffee and tea. Although activities were available, we just enjoyed a couple of days of pure relaxation.

The BoMC resort is truly in a fantastic location and is working hard to make themselves a 5 star resort. We stayed 3 nights in the Kereru suite which had a private deck with hot tub, included breakfast and dinner, and a welcome charcuterie board and nice champagne. Although expensive on a per night stay, we thought it was probably priced about right. What could have been improved was a bit of customer service attention to detail and a major improvement on the dining. My girlfriend booked a massage on our relaxation day and when she showed up at the spa they had no record of her massage and they were full. When she called and rebooked an appointment for later in the afternoon, they still never received the booking, but were able to squeeze her in. The only laundry facility on property was down for maintenance while we stayed there (in the middle of a 3 week NZL trip), but the staff recovered and finished our laundry in the staff laundry area. My big gripe was the dining service. We stayed at BoMC during the prime holiday season where everyone brought their families. As an adult couple, I would have hoped that the 5 course dinner wouldn't have included 10-12 five year olds running around the dining area and making noise constantly. I don't have a problem with the resort hosting families, but they do have two dining rooms (one up and one down) and they could easily accommodate families in one and adults in another with minimal distractions. Easy fix. Please consider it for future guests.
