Glendaruel Bed & Breakfast in Stewart Island, Foveaux Strait, New Zealand | Bed and Breakfast

Glendaruel Bed and Breakfast is conveniently situated for things to do. We are in a quiet bush setting, only ten minutes walk from the village but well away from Stewart Island's version of the 'Concrete Jungle'. We are five minutes' walk from Observation Rock, which gives a marvellous view of Paterson Inlet, and two minutes from Golden Bay Wharf, the base for several water taxis. Kayak hire is just around the corner.
On Stewart Island we have lots of beautiful bush walks, anything from ten minutes to ten days and we are handy for several tracks. On Stewart Island you can have a sandy beach to yourself even at the height of the season. Golden Bay, two minutes from the house, is typical of the clean, unspoilt beaches that fringe the island, although possibly the water is on on the chilly side for those accustomed to tropical climes.
Bus tours cover the entire road system [30 km!] daily. The island is larger than Singapore but apart from a very small area around the only township, is covered in native forest or tussock.
Tramping tracks take you into more remote areas. There are comfortable huts at reasonable intervals.
