Have always visited Stirling point with visitors since my mum took me there as a child. This time we walked to the light house. Lovely walk along the safe track and interesting history displayed. Everyone enjoy the day out, of course with a feed of fresh oysters and blue cod.
Good spot for a photo, with a distant view of Stuart Island out the back. The toilets nearby were good. Worth a visit to say you’ve been there.
Stunning views. A must do if you visit South island. We did a little walk to get to the light house. There is public toilet on site.
Stirling Point in Bluff. Popular spot for photos and nice views at the bottom of the South Island. There is a toilet and a cafe/restaurant by the car park. You can also walk from here to Bluff Hill via the tracks through the bush, if you don't want to drive there. Only 30 mins from Invercargill
Stirling point is a beautiful little area to hike or take a walk along the beach. Lots of cute little shells to be picked over. The lighthouse down the way is quite picturesque
Just a magnificent spot not far from the anchor chain. Glad to have ticked it off my bucket list. There is also a neat little beach not far to have a swim as well.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Claimed to be the most southerly mainland point in New Zealand. Slope Point The Catlins area is the most southern point on the mainland nearest the South Pole. It is also notable as the southern end of State Highway 1. Just follow State Highway 1, keep going south and when it stops, you're at Stirling Point. If you have visited the top half of the North Island, the Cape Reinga Lighthouse is located right at the tip of the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the first lights that shipping observes when arriving from the Tasman Sea and North Pacific Ocean. Stirling Point is it's equivalent for the South Island. Here at Stirling Point it is famous for its signpost, depicting distances to major cities in the world. This signpost has featured in thousands of photographs with tourists from all around the world. The Point is named after Captain William Stirling, who established a whaling station here in 1836. There's a café at Stirling Point, which serves NZ world famous oysters, that are havested from this area. Bluff oysters are reputed to be the best in the world and is a New Zealand national treasure. The Italian playboy Casanova consumed 50 oysters for breakfast every day to heighten his libido first thing in the morning, and due to his numerous sexual conquests, is largely responsible for oysters being perceived a potent aphrodisiac. It is here that you can access beautiful Department of Conservation walk tracks Foveaux Walkway: Stirling Point to Lookout Point 60 minutes one way. The coastal track from Stirling Point to Lookout Point has an easy grade and well-compacted surface providing good views across Foveaux Strait. On a clear day you can see Stewart Island which is New Zealand's third largest island, situated 30 kilometres south of the South Island, across the Foveaux Strait.
Last day before flying home, drove from Queenstown to avoid the bad weather and the first snow in the mountains. Invercargill, Bluff, and then Stirling Point meant we finished our 3 weeks driving from Picton to the tip of the South Island. Extremely windy day but absolutely gorgeous with strong, beautiful wave action. Truly felt like Antarctica wasn't that far away!
