Glendaruel Bed & Breakfast

Glendaruel Bed & Breakfast is a well-appointed accommodation located in Oban, New Zealand.

The B&B is situated between Halfmoon Bay and Golden Bay, offering beautiful sea and forest views. The location is ideal for guests who want to maximize their time on the island, as it is bordered on two sides by uninterrupted vistas of native forest, alive with birdsong. The village of Oban and the water taxis to Ulva Island Bird Sanctuary are just a few minutes’ walk away.

The B&B offers a variety of guest-friendly rooms, each with a beautiful view of the native forest alive with birdlife. The rooms are quiet, private, and equipped with chairs and table, fresh flowers, and a range of coffees, teas, and biscuits. Every room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower. All guest rooms come equipped with a wardrobe and kettle.

The B&B offers a choice of cooked or continental breakfast with gluten- and dairy-free options. Guests can relax in the spacious guest lounge with its magnificent sea and forest views - a favorite spot from which to watch kaka, kereru, and other native birds.

The B&B is owned and operated by Raylene Waddell, who has been a permanent resident of Stewart Island since 2000. Raylene is passionate about helping guests make the most of their time on the island. She offers attentive service and is happy to provide a lift to the start of a walking track or to a restaurant.
