Stewart Island Flights has a connection departing Invercargill 1330.
We will meet you on arrival whether by Plane or Ferry, and take you on a short orientation "Tiki Tour" before getting you settled in.
and when you depart we'll take you back to plane or ferry. BUT, as Real Journeys have changed their morning departure to 0730 with check in 0700 at the latest we may not be able to assist at this time. And if luggage is not checked in it may not be taken, and have to wait for the next sailing.
Stewart Island Electricity is generated using diesel fuel
Sails Ashore is Solar Powered
But we now produce 100 % of our electrical needs, and are completely “Off Grid”, Excess electricity is used to heat our domestic hot water and central heating system and this has cut our non renewable heating fuel usage to around 20% of pre solar.. All cooking is electric, no more LPG. See More …….
Kowhai Lane is also Solar powered,
Kowhai Lane is “Grid Tied” Excess production is used to heat water. Production beyond the house requirements is exported, thus cutting diesel use in the wider grid. At night Kowhai Lane Lodge receives power from the grid.
Like Sails Ashore, all cooking is electric,,,,, No LPG
