Luckily we were able to spend the night at Stewart Island Lodge when they cancelled. After a very coarse passage from Bluff we were collected at the jetty, got a 10-minute drive through the city and drove up the hillside (yes, it's quite precipitous, but we've run several places and we went to the lodge in the mid-1970s, so it's not that hard).

Lisa, who was funny, enchanting and very effective, welcomed us there. This lodge is a little expensive, but it's rewarding. "We spent three night at Stewart Island Lodge and just liked it there." For us, the dot on the i was Lisa the executive director.

There was an impressing choice of breakfasts to choose from and the visitors used the opportunity to exchange experience on Stewart Island.

The rooms are superb, and the panorama is fantastic - and a good walk all around, albeit sometimes a bit sheer. "Breathtaking view" This hostel is located on a hillside overlooking Oban and the cove. Lisa is the star of this hostel, which administers the rooms and hosts the visitors.
