Shopping in Stewart Island

  1. A

    Ship to Shore

    Self-caterers can get groceries and beer and wine from Oban’s general store, Ship to Shore. Also available are sandwiches and baked goodies ($3 to $6), and staff can prepare a packed lunch if you’re going for a day tramp. It’s also the kind of friendly place that announces locals’ birthdays on a blackboard outside.

    Fernery

    Opposite the DOC office, the Fernery sells crafts, paintings and island-themed books, especially titles for kids. Pick up a CD of bird calls, so you’ll know your kiwi from your kaka.
