Off the map great! Entire staff was wonderful. Food was amazing given the location. Expensive but worth a two night splurge. Special kudos to Chico and Rocky ... but all staff great.

Just to inform other people if they want to go there by car It' impossible... From Terrace Bay to Mowe Bay (86km...) the road was horrible, due to the extremely bad conditions of the road, (we traveled 25 km in 1 hour in a Jeep Toyota and therefore decided to turn around) speed was approx 25 km per hour that means it would have taken us 3 hours to get to the meeting point ( one hour later) not to talk of the high risk of damaging the rented car or blow a tire putting me in a difficult situation. The Hotel never advised us on the real conditions of the road and were not completely honest on the amount of time necessary to reach the location; if we had known we would have never booked Shipwreck lodge in the first place.
