We have lived here for almost 70 years between us and have enjoyed the company of numerous friends holidaying here. Watching, as well as being part of their enjoyment of the Island plus our experiences with guests over the past 10 years has given us a keen appreciation of just what is so special about Stewart Island.
Sails Ashore and Kowhai Lane offer from two to 5 couples the very best of accommodation while on the Island. Although we offer only accommodation, guided walks and road tours we know the good operators. Package our accommodation with some or all of the wide range of activities available here and that special holiday or family get together is taken care of, with no worries at all.

We can fully package your program ex Invercargill.

Including :-

  • Transport, Air or Sea,
  • Accommodation,
  • Local Transport (we have our own van)
  • All meals
  • Activities ..which can include :-
Although we are happy to organise and to do the bookings,  in each case you will pay the operator concerned directly. That way you know we will NOT be clipping the ticket as it goes past.
