Bluff

Tucked along the northern shore of Foveaux Strait, Bluff is a place whose character is shaped by its exposed maritime setting. The town sits below Motupōhue, also known as Bluff Hill, whose slopes rise directly above the harbour and look across the strait toward Rakiura/Stewart Island. At Stirling Point, the familiar signpost marks a southern terminus of the Te Araroa Trail, which runs the length of New Zealand. Bluff is also closely associated with the seasonal Bluff oyster fishery; the local oyster festival has made this shellfish part of Southland’s public calendar.
