Oban

Oban sits on Halfmoon Bay in Southland, New Zealand, where Stewart Island/Rakiura meets the often changeable waters of Foveaux Strait. The island’s principal settlement is a compact base for this sparsely populated southern island, with ferries linking it to Bluff on the South Island. Most of Stewart Island lies within Rakiura National Park, which protects forest, wetlands and a deeply indented coastline; the Rakiura Track is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. The dual name Stewart Island/Rakiura reflects Māori connections to the island, while Oban’s harbour remains central to daily life.
