Ferry service connects to Manhattan until 10 PM Sunday-Thursday and 11 PM Friday-Saturday.
Waterfront Island Location
The retreat sits on Governors Island, an 8-minute ferry ride from Manhattan's Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street. Nearby subway stations include South Ferry (1 train), Whitehall Street (R/W trains), and Bowling Green (4/5 trains), all within a 5-minute walk. The property is 6.5 km from One World Trade Center and 8 km from Brooklyn Bridge. Teterboro Airport is the nearest airport, while LaGuardia is 25 km away.
Retreat Services Overview
Services include complimentary ferry access with private boat upgrades available, luggage assistance upon request, and daily turndown service. The front desk provides basic toiletries, hairdryers, and bug spray. Event spaces accommodate groups up to 250 guests, with full retreat buyouts available. Security patrols the fenced property after 6 PM, and EMT services are available on the island. The property offers concierge assistance for island activities and dining reservations.
“The views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty alone make a stay worthwhile. I found the upscale tents surprisingly comfortable and clean, especially the outdoor bathrooms with spa-like soaps. I think couples seeking a peaceful retreat close to the city will appreciate the quiet and unique glamping experience here.”
