Stewart Island boutique hosted bed and breakfast accommodation Sails Ashore
PLEASE NOTE..... Sails Ashore
two night minimum stay and is
packaged with a "Sails" Guided Ulva Exploration walk and the
tariff less a 15% discount for this will be added to the first
night accommodation,
Sails Ashore was opened in Dec 2004 as a
boutique luxury bed & breakfast and offers a perfect base for
exploring Stewart Island.
We chose the name "Sails Ashore" to reflect the
close relationship the Island enjoys with the sea. Overlooking
Halfmoon Bay and the islands of Foveaux Straits beyond Sails
Ashore is a short 4 minutes stroll from the village waterfront,
set in a private native and flower garden. Guests enjoy their
own wing, each room with a private entrance
Internal decor features extensive use of native
Rimu timber, much of it salvaged from old logs, long sunk in a
West Coast lake. Muted colours, original art and the best of
fittings makes for a casual elegance.
Sails Ashore is all about
exploring and enjoying the Island at your own pace. Your hosts,
Iris & Peter, welcome you into our home and will be more than
happy to share our knowledge of the Island with you.
A "Sails" guided exploration of
Ulva Island is a must do and is part of the Sails Ashore package
and as we generally restrict party size to a maximum of 6 you
will be really involved. The local walks are a relaxed way of
exploring the forests and beaches the community nestles amongst.
Begin the day with Iris's
special continental breakfast, at your convenience. We Stewart
Islanders try to ignore clocks as far as possible, so we do
things to suit you. Perhaps followed by a scenic road tour, the
ideal way to get your bearings and learn a little about local
history and village life.
If the weather is a trifle
boisterous the Museum, Dept of Conservation Centre and local
craft shops are an easy way of spending an interesting hour or
two. Or if feeling really "indoors" enjoy our extensive library
of local interest books and DVD's.
We have two Border Terriers and although the guests rooms and
dining room are strictly "no dog zones" they will be delighted
to take you for a walk.
You'll also leave with a free
DVD containing a short film and slide shows about Stewart Island
and we'll copy your digital images onto the disk as well
and we are proud to be listed with .....
