Die Insel ist annähernd dreieckig und wird durch den Doubtful Sound im Süden und den Thompson Sound im Norden vom Festland getrennt. Die Westküste grenzt an die Tasmansee. Die steil ansteigende Insel erreicht eine Höhe von 1200 m Höhe bei einer Fläche von 81 km². Sie ist unbewohnt. Die nächstgelegene größere Insel ist Bauza Island im Süden.
