The Visitor Information Centre is in the building, on Main St. There are displays and videos about the Island. Rakiura Museum is the place to visit for an insight into earlier days on the Island. You won't wear yourself out on a Stewart Island shopping spree - there aren't enough shops. However you'll find all the essentials.
Most shops have a range of souvenirs.
The Pub is the social centre for the Island. There's a range of fine ales and cider on tap, with a pool table and darts for recreation. Stewart Island Lions Club Lions International are the only major Service Club represented on Stewart Island. Visiting Lions are always warmly welcomed. Reception at the Hotel will put you in touch with Club Officers.
