With no company,

I do not feel lonely.

With no help,

I am alone.

Our very own Stewart Island salesperson Jeanette had the pleasure of being on a quiz team with Rhys Darby & David Hasselhoff at the (now) world famous Stewy Is South Sea Hotel quiz night. Bet that was an entertaining night!

Their visit sure has the South in a bit of a buzz. 🤩🤩

Bluff to Stewart Island and back on my jetski…. Tick ✔️ (Saturday 28th December 2024 )

Rakiura - Stewart Island

This island is my anchor

Where trees echo the stories of the land

And rangers laugh and dance and sing

Unleashing the wild child within.

This island is my anchor

Where I will sing with friends until 

the fires burn out

And the sky grows dark

Then the eyes of the universe

Will illuminate the path

Guiding the way for tired girls

Safely back to their cabins

And to their beds where

They will rest their tired bones

Prepared for another day.

Content restrictions on this one: None! if you're into AI you can use these to your hearts content. While we DID take the videos that we screencapped/ripped from a travel we did in 2018 -- we're not laying copyright claim to it, because it's just window based video lol - we didn't go out on the deck much.

Acker’s Cottage. The first building on Stewart Island/Rakiura and is one of the oldest buildings in the southern part of New Zealand. Built by Captain Lewis Acker, an American Whaler, in 1834-1835. He bought the land (Acker’s Point) from Māori Chief Tuhawaiki.

Stewart Island has a fascinating history and is a surreal place to visit. I cannot wait to visit again :)

Outside the cottage:

Captain Acker definitely chose a beautiful spot.
