This is a review for their restaurant, not for their accommodation. I did the Queen Charlotte Trail from Ship Cove. After 5 hours of hiking, was happy to sit down and have a great lunch, and they delivered! Despite the remote location, they have quite an interesting and varied menu. And the food was very well cooked. Seafood chowder was delicious. Lots of seafood inside. Almost a main sized portion, can be a good lunch on its own for one person. Market fish of the day was delicious, and was some species I'd never heard of before, but was from the local Marlborough Sounds. Fish and chips were good, albeit nothing special. Using gurnard fish, also from the local Marlborough Sounds. Pricing was very good ($33-42 mains) considering the remote location of the restaurant, and also for the portion sizes. Dining environment was more bar/pub dining room like, rather than fine dining. They accept reservations. Officially, last order for lunch is at 2:30pm, but we arrived a bit late at like 2:45pm and still managed to get food orders in.
