The Bay Motel

Pungent smell of bathroom at night every night

Nice room for a 3 star motel. And walking distance to everything on Seward Island.

Very convenient to Oban facilities. Wonderful deck with plenty of birdlife to entertain. Shuttle to/from plane depot was conevnient.

Nothing!

The view from our room was wonderful-- looking out to the bay. We had a special greeter on our deck-- a friendly and curious Kaka that hung out for a while and returned to take shelter during the rain. Very close to the tour guide locations.

Not air B & B but in the area as good as easy

As location i would be much appreciated if they provide milk and tea. Changes towels.

The hosts were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Enjoyed being able to see the harbour from our room.

The property was lovely, warm and clean.

The wifi was practically non-existent.

Friendly welcome was received from the hotel host picking us up at the airline flight terminal, and an equally friendly welcome was given at the hotel’s reception. The reception area contained of information pertaining to many of the Islands Very good activities and attractions. A great guest compendium was also supplied in the room.The room was a spacious studio type, with an incredibly wonderful view overlooking Half Moon Bay. A view also clearly shared by the many Kakas who came throughout our stay to sit on our terrace railing (or we were their view). The room was very well furnished with a sofa, table and chairs, and a wonderfully comfortable bed. It had also been pre-heated prior to our arrival and remained cozy throughout the three days stayed.Also had a wonderful kitchenette, which included a microwave and hot top.Ensuite bathroom was of a decent size and had a shower with exceptional pressure and plenty of hot water. Care did need to be taken, however, in turning on taps for this very reason. Excellently located, being only a five-minute walk (downhill) from the Oban Township and fifteen minutes to Golden Bay, where the Ulva Island boats leave from. Wi-Fi was occasionally intermittent, but not a great issue.

Stronger Wi-fi connection.

The views and the staff.

I had some issues with the WiFi, and wish I knew about the electric blanket my first night haha!

The staffs, Cleanliness, Location

Nice view, pleasant staff, warm room, comfortable bed. Very nice of the owner to pick us up at the ferry and take us and our luggage down again at the end of our stay. Quiet, with handy kitchenette. Good shower pressure.

Wifi didn't work well. Rarely able to connect.

Great location . Close to town but almost in the bush still.

Beds a little uncomfortable

It was great having our own balcony compared to the rest of the rooms having a shared one will definitely be requesting that room next time

Close location, last minute vacancy was helpful

Tv in a very unusual position, would have to move the beds to be able to see full screen if needed. Not a deal breaker for us.

Clean, wonderful host, fantastic views

Amazing rooms, super big and clean! We were very busy during our stay with tours and felt sad we couldn’t enjoy more the stay!

None!

Great accomodation with lovely views over the bay. Close to everything and very comfortable.

Fantastic view of Oban township and bay from deck. Large spacious room. Great spa bath. Arrived by ferry. Appreciated being picked up by motel van.

If you plan to cook in the motel be aware there are restrictions of what you can cook. Eg bacon and fish is not allowed.

Beautiful motel, super convenient but also peaceful. Friendly, helpful staff.

Nothing!

We were picked up and dropped off from the ferry. Super friendly, helpful staff. Handy location - walking distance to everything in Oban. Plenty of room in our motel rooms. Lovely outdoor deck with tui and piwakawaka close to us in the trees.
