Stewart Island Travel Accommodation

We've lived on Stewart Island for almost 40 years and for the last 9 have been actively involved in coordinating our guests travel arrangements when joining and leaving Talisker. This experience plus the close relationships we have built up with a whole raft of other operators based both on Stewart Island and on the "Mainland" make us worthwhile contacting for those extra special things to do and the best way of doing them.

Stewart Island Travel Planning

Our own preference is to fly ... why ?

We also listen closely to our guests experiences and are guided by their experiences.

Of course if we can help with what you'd like to do we'd love to, but we may also suggest other ways of doing it.

Getting to Stewart Island (click on the logo to link to operators web site)

Air New Zealand

We can make bookings if you wish but suggest that you contact the operator directly.
But in all cases you'll pay the operator concerned directly. We don't presently take commissions, nor do we charge.

So why do we do it ?? The one thing we hate to hear from folk as they leave is... "if only we had known"....

Kiwi !!..

You can find kiwi on display in pens in lots of places around New Zealand, but seeing wild birds in the wild is something quite special. We don't offer Kiwi watch, but we do know how to arrange this for our guests. Please ask us !! Or visit the operators web site

But the main thing is we hope is that your Stewart Island holiday is
Truly Memorable.

A Day (or longer) Trip to Mason Bay is something Extra Special.
