On the waterfront, on Marine Parade, RUA at Bluff offers magnificent harbour and water views. Relax in one of our two luxurious modern studio units. Enjoy a comfortable bed, with hotel quality linen, a well-appointed bathroom, double glazing for warmth and quiet, and a small covered outdoor deck with views of Bluff’s busy shipping and fishing channel. Free WiFi & Smart TV. RUA at Bluff is located 25 minutes from Invercargill near the Stewart Island Ferry Terminal and 1 km from Stirling Point. We offer two identical studio units each with rear entrance and large ranch-slider doors at the front to make the most of the stunning views! Free parking at the rear of your unit. Your unit is situated behind your host's home. Studio 1 has the direct views to the water. Studio 2 can see also the harbour, but the view is slightly more restricted. An additional comfortable, single trundler bed with extra linen/duvet/pillows is available on request for a third guest. An infant's Portacot is also available. Message us for pricing for these options. Check out all details on our website.
We moved to live in Bluff four years ago to reconnect with my whakapapa/genealogy and family history here in Awarua. We enjoy hosting guests from all over Aotearoa and the world. We'll give you a friendly wave, but we like to let you get on with your visit uninterrupted and independent of us. We are just a text message away if you need anything.
Bluff, New Zealand, is a port town situated at the southernmost point of the South Island, known for its rich history, vibrant community, and natural beauty.
