Our stay at Jensen Bay House was a perfect introduction to Stewart Island - town was a short 20 minute walk along the coast (giving an easy jumping off point to any number of island activities), and the location made a peaceful night walk (and possible kiwi sightings!) practically as easy as stepping outside the front door. Manfred was a wonderful host, and our entire stay was filled with thoughtful and personal touches (everything from the morning breakfasts overlooking the bay to impromptu field trip recommendations) that made it all the more amazing.
