Unimpressive little Bluff (www.bluff.co.nz) is Invercargill’s port, 27km south of the city. Really, the main reasons to come here are to catch the ferry to Stewart Island, pose for photos beside the Stirling Point signpost or buy some of the famous Bluff oysters straight from the wharf.

While Bluff isn’t the South Island’s southernmost point (that claim to fame belongs to Slope Point in the Catlins), and even though Stewart Island and other dots of rock lie even further south, the phrase ‘from Cape Reinga to Bluff’ is oft-quoted to signify the entire length of NZ, the Kiwi equivalent of ‘Land’s End to John o’ Groats’. NZ’s main highway, SH1, terminates south of Bluff at Stirling Point, so it really does feel like the end of the country.
