South Sea Hotel has atmosphere and a true Kiwi style. Relaxed and fun . We came for a drink and the next night returned for a meal and the pub quiz. All good and the accommodation looked nice. Very central on the waterfront near the school and looking out to the South seas with a westerly component. Parking outside and easy to work to. 2stories high it stands twice as high as most other buildings. Easy to find in Oban.

A classic style pub with a restaurant meals attached. Wonderful history behind this place but it seems to be booked out very early most of the time. When we visited there was live music playing although the bar section was very crowded with no seating space available. The dining area was quite cramped, and the meals were fairly typical. The Kai Kart next door we found to be better tasting and value, Although that said - we certainly enjoyed our meals. The staff were polite and attentive. My wife found her wine glass to be extremely small and expensive for the amount she got. Deserts were expensive but extremely delicious. There was an unlisted kids sundae which was much more reasonably priced for the children. Would definitely eat here again although it would be better on a quiet night (if there is such a thing at this clearly central location of the township.)
Beer is cheap, combined with the occasional happy hour, free Friday night nibbles. For 6 nights bar and restaurant packed. Ate here for 5 nights and enjoyed each meal. Recommended when on Stewart Island.
The pub is the social hub on the island. It’s a great old fashioned pub, dining room and accommodation. We didn’t stay, but went for lunch and dinner several times. The beer is good, the wine list has a nice range, and the menu is delicious! The prices are fantastic - not what you’d expect from such a remote spot. I’d even call it cheap! The service was excellent, and even though they were absolutely slammed with customers during a very busy time, the team were very friendly and professional. The hot tip is to time the visit for the Quiz Night. It’s a great way to spend an evening, is entertaining and fun, and just a bit hard...
The only pub in town. Great location. Friendly service, basic pub grub. Reasonable prices. If you want to attend the famous Sunday night pub quiz get there early, it was wall to wall when I was there two hours before start time.
The view is spectacular. The rooms are comfy at a great price. The staff are awesome friendly and helpful. The meals are tasty as. Big ups to the team. We will return. Worth every penny.
Stunning location. Excellent food (I had the trio of salmon). Great service. Friendly locals. Worthwhile travelling to Rakiura Stewart Island just to sit in the dining room and watch the sunset.
We visited this place a few times whilst on Rakiura. The food is nice and there is a good drink selection. The Sunday night pun quiz is a must. Get there from 5.30 to grab a table. The quiz starts at 7.00pm
