NZ has 3 main islands (but tons of smaller ones too). Stewart Island is NZ's third largest island. It sits even further south of the southern-most tip of the South Island. It's the smallest of New Zealand's 3 main islands (after the North and South Island) but it's often sadly forgotten off maps!
Incredibly remote with only one town and around 80% of the land area officially a national park, it takes an hour's ferry ride across the Foveaux Strait from Bluff to get to it.
We bought our ferry tickets from the ferry terminal in Bluff on the day we went itself, but you can also book online or check out their timetable here as it changes throughout the year to help with planning your trip:

For your return ride from Stewart Island back to Bluff, don't forget to pick up your "boarding card" from the Stewart Island ferry terminal which you'll need to hand to the ferry crew before getting on the boat.
For lunch we ate at Kai Kart. Delicious and fresh, Peter still talks fondly about the amazing blue cod we had there. It pays to check out Kai Kart's Facebook page for updates about opening hours since Google may not always be up to date.

One last thing to note, the roads on Stewart Island are pretty narrow so if you rent a car when you're there like we did, remember that the maximum recommended speed around the whole island is 30kmph.
