Our people. Our places. Stewart Island, New Zealand. Unspoilt, relaxing and incredibly beautiful, Stewart Island is a showcase for untouched New Zealand. It's a largely undiscovered eco-tourism destination with stunning inlets, sandy beaches, dense forest and abundant wildlife including the southern brown kiwi. http://bit.ly/VisitStewartIsland | RealNZ
