Stewart Island
Lying off the south eastern corner of New Zealand, Stewart Island is the country's third largest island and the most southerly land mass before you reach Antarctica. Bluff is the access point across to the island and home to the renowned Bluff Oysters - a seasonal delicacy. Enjoy the clean crisp air, breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife. A large portion of the island has been designated a national park, just the place for enjoying the great outdoors.
