At Lands End, travelers praise the breathtaking location by the Bluff sign and coastal walks, along with friendly hosts who often go above and beyond, while noting small, dated rooms, occasional noise, and limited dining options in Bluff.
Many rooms have superb sea views, and the hotel is convenient for Stewart Island ferries. Occasional language barriers and unstaffed or delayed check-ins are reported. Breakfast is generally good with eggs cooked to order, but options and quality vary, and the neighboring restaurant's availability can be inconsistent. Overall, expect a quiet, view-focused base with personal touches rather than full-service amenities.

The only drawback was that staff was also managing the adjacent restaurant and lounge/bar. Had to contact person at restaurant to come to reception to let us in. Room was clean, but small (as advertised). Meals at restaurant were excellent.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here, chosen due to its close proximity to the ferry terminal to Stewart Island. The breakfast was just right and included cooked eggs. Sami was a great host and went above and beyond to accommodate parking requirements and even dropped us at the ferry the morning of our trip. We had slight issues with the carpet being wet (from the shower - previous occupants not using the shower mat) and there was no body wash left, but the views were spectacular and we really loved our stay.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Bluff and the view is great. There is also a nice hiking trail along the coast starting at the hotel. Lands End really should not be called hotel but bed and breakfast because only breakfast is served and the only restaurant next door was closed ( permanently???). So we had to get take- out from a Chinese restaurant. Chinese food can be excellent- this one was not. The owners of the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were very small. The reception area needs to be improved. An ironing board should not be part of the furniture. Breakfast was basic but ok. Eggs were cooked to order.

Andy, not sure if the owner or manager of both but was a man of true hospitality. The place was very nice and right on the water, great views. Next door a restaurant where we had a nice dinner overlooking the bay. Easy to find and park. He helped us out with a change of travel plans and was very accommodating.

This place was a little disappointing, great setting and staff friendly but the room and ensuite very small. Struggled to find space for our suitcases. Bathroom very small and a little rundown although shower was lovely and hot and torrential 😊 which was nice. Sea view is nice and the room cozy. Not a lot of choice locally in Bluff if you’re looking for somewhere to eat and during our stay the one nice restaurant next door to the hotel wasn’t open. The included breakfast downstairs was okay although you were left guessing what was actually on offer, a menu on the table would be useful especially as the lady cooking and providing breakfast did not speak very good English. All in all an okay stay but for the price expected more. This place could be fabulous if a little better run and targeted for those just wanting a weekend away.

Ingen bemanning vid ankomst. Ingen restaurang eftersom det var en måndag. Det framgick inte att man inte kunde äta på Oyster Cove . Reception gav oss en tid att äta på måndag kväll men det var fel. Det fanns en restaurang öppet på måndag i Bluff. Bra att veta. En personal fick servera och laga frukost till flera gäster. Inte hållbart , och inte rättvist mot personal eller besökare..

Great little boutique hotel. More like a bed and breakfast. Staff were fantastic. The location is quiet with views of the lake. It is a 5 minute walk to the lake are with the restaurants and pubs. The rooms were large and clean but not the most modern. Continental breakfast was included and was very good. Parking is tight. We loved the hotel and returned for 2 additional nights during our stay

Generally clean rooms, but recurring bathroom drainage issues have caused wet carpets or flooding in some stays. Grounds and maintenance can look a little tired in places.

Guests need to feel welcome/soecial. A boutique hotel should have tidy presentable grounds. Breakfast was good.

The hotel was located at a great spot and the restaurant next door was worth visiting. The room seemed exceptionally small, though the view was nice. The Chinese staff/owners were very friendly, but the English communication was not great, potentially leading to communication issues. A couple of things in the room, such as the coffee pot, did not work. Staff only nodded. I don’t think they understood. Breakfast was nice, though the coffee was exceptionally weak. Overall, not a bad place and the view as great. Just be patient regarding communications and it’s best to handle things in person rather than by phone. They never responded to online inquiries about our reservation. Please note, we were there on our way to/from Stewart Island. Bluff isn’t exactly a tourist destination. But we do recommend the restaurant next door to the hotel.

Location was good for a 1 night stop. Checking in was easy. Downside was no dining options as most places were closed on a Wed night. Took their advice and had (very good) takeaway fish n chips from Stella’s and they allowed us to eat in their dining/living room. Breakfast was a downer, kitchen staff have no idea how to cook eggs, so suggest they don’t attempt it but instead provide some other options.

It’s a quiet & quirky hotel with the best sea and Bluff sign views. Received a fabulous welcome and enjoyed our stay which included breakfast. The Oyster Cove Restaurant next door provided a yummy dinner too.

Dining
Breakfast is generally good with eggs cooked to order, though options and quality vary and the service window can be short. There is no on site restaurant; the neighboring venue can be excellent when open but is not always available.

It was ok but nowhere to go for food or drink as when we booked it said you had a restaurant & bar. Everything had shut & we had nothing to eat or drink so was disappointing.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here, chosen due to its close proximity to the ferry terminal to Stewart Island. The breakfast was just right and included cooked eggs. Sami was a great host and went above and beyond to accommodate parking requirements and even dropped us at the ferry the morning of our trip. We had slight issues with the carpet being wet (from the shower - previous occupants not using the shower mat) and there was no body wash left, but the views were spectacular and we really loved our stay.

Location was good for a 1 night stop. Checking in was easy. Downside was no dining options as most places were closed on a Wed night. Took their advice and had (very good) takeaway fish n chips from Stella’s and they allowed us to eat in their dining/living room. Breakfast was a downer, kitchen staff have no idea how to cook eggs, so suggest they don’t attempt it but instead provide some other options.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Bluff and the view is great. There is also a nice hiking trail along the coast starting at the hotel. Lands End really should not be called hotel but bed and breakfast because only breakfast is served and the only restaurant next door was closed ( permanently???). So we had to get take- out from a Chinese restaurant. Chinese food can be excellent- this one was not. The owners of the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were very small. The reception area needs to be improved. An ironing board should not be part of the furniture. Breakfast was basic but ok. Eggs were cooked to order.

We came to this hotel because it was one of the farthest points in the south. We were hoping to see the lights, but no such luck. It was still a quaint hotel with an amazing view. The breakfast included was good as well. If travel take you to Bluff, this is the must stay hotel.

Hospitality was superb. We were happy to pay for the accommodation as breakfast was included, but we expected full English breakfast. Breakfast could be improved with the supply of sausages, bacon, hash brown, cakes etc. and more selection of fresh fruits.

Ingen bemanning vid ankomst. Ingen restaurang eftersom det var en måndag. Det framgick inte att man inte kunde äta på Oyster Cove . Reception gav oss en tid att äta på måndag kväll men det var fel. Det fanns en restaurang öppet på måndag i Bluff. Bra att veta. En personal fick servera och laga frukost till flera gäster. Inte hållbart , och inte rättvist mot personal eller besökare..

I ended up choosing this hotel because no hotels in nearby Invercargill seemed to be available. (I got the suite - the last room available at the time.) The manager was very friendly, and the breakfast was good. (My only complaint is that the 1-hour window (8am-9am) for breakfast was too short.)

Beautiful spot, closest you can stay to the absolute furthers point of SH1. Lovely to sit and admire the water from the roomside and continental breakfast was lovely, despite a complaining review saying the eggs were no good, our poached eggs were perfect.

It seems like the price is high for what you are getting. The location is beautiful by the ocean and within walking distance of the Bluff ocean trail. However, we were expecting a little bit more luxury. There was no unique character or coziness to the place you would expect of a boutique hotel. The staff are friendly and the bed was comfortable. The room was rather small, although it was over looking the ocean.

Excellent stay. We were in the ocean view corner room. Terrific view. Samantha, one of the care takers, was exceptional, as was Andy, another staff/owner. Warm reception, all needs taken care of, clean comfortable room, with a great bed.
