Today we are going to Stewart Island! The most popular way to get to Stewart Island is to take the ferry between Bluff and Oban. We hop on the ferry in Bluff with Real Journeys and start making our merry way over the Foveaux Strait to Oban, the one and only town in Stewart Island.

When we arrive, we check into the Stewart Island Backpackers then start exploring Oban. After getting some lunch and meeting some locals, we find a walking track along the coast of Oban, over some cliffs to a nice secluded beach called Bathing Beach. Bathing Beach is a beautiful golden sand beach. Although we are as far south as we’re ever likely to get, the beaches in Oban look like a tropical paradise.

We make our way back into Oban town and catch a movie and the one and only cinema on Stewart Island, the Bunkhouse Theatre. It’s a cosy boutique-style cinema showing one movie called A Local’s Tail giving the Stewart Island history from the perspective of a dog. It’s pretty hilarious and sums up Stewart Island life and humour nicely.

So what do you think of Oban, Stewart Island? Is it a New Zealand town worth visiting? LUK in the comments.
