places TO STAY

Whether you’re visiting the island to check out the local walks, taking your significant other for a romantic weekend beneath the stars, or going on an epic action-packed family weekend away, Rakiura has plenty of options to fit your needs. Just be sure to book in advance to avoid missing out!

• For an unforgettable experience, Church Hill Boutique Lodge & Restaurant features stand-alone suites with views of Halfmoon Bay and an on-site restaurant with a menu that highlights the region’s greatest produce.

• If you prefer a modern, comfortable apartment, the Argyle Apartments are new to the island and only a five-minute walk from Oban township. Relax on the deck, take in the sights of the fishing boat as the sun sets and the skies glow, and then delight in the night sky that the island is known for!

• The Bay Motel is centrally located, spacious and perfect for a getaway with family or friends! Fully equipped for your stay, they even have a spot to cook your catch of the day! Offering incredible views over Halfmoon Bay, you won’t need to leave – but if you do, it’s only a short stroll into Oban!
