This is also one of the areas of New Zealand where our European presence became established. Previously known as Campbelltown, its name Bluff became official in 1917 having always been referred to as The Bluff. The first ship known to have entered the harbor was the Perseverance in 1813, with early settlers arriving between 1823-1824. Bluff is the oldest permanent European settlement in New Zealand. Bluff Harbour is also the terminus for the ferry to Stewart Island (Rakiura), which is 60 km south across Foveaux Strait, and is also the main gateway for New Zealand Ships heading to the Antarctic.
