5.00The staff at Wellington helicopters were absolutely amazing! So accommodating and made everything so easy. They were incredibly professional and made everything easy. The flight was absolutely stunning, there are no words to describe how beautiful this flight is. The Bay of many Coves resort is an absolute treasure, incredibly private and serene. The staff here were amazing as well, so welcoming and bent over backwards to make sure your stay is the best it can possibly be. The food is out of this world, I could not recommend this place enough. Best for a relaxing romantic getaway or amazing experience of high end luxury.
A must while in Wellington

5.00The helicopter was very comfortable and the views of Cook Strait were breath-taking. The lunch was the best meal I have eaten in my life. The staff were friendly. This is a resort with great style and great food. We thought we might have had a swim in the pool if we had taken our togs but we were glad that we focused on lunch. It was value for money.
