Te Anau is nestled on the outskirts of Fiordland National Park, one of the largest in the world, and a World Heritage area. Some of the wildest and dramatic scenery can be found right at our doorstep. Our Te Anau motel accommodation is located close to the main southern walking tracks and truly earn the International recognition as the "Sightseeing and Walking Capital of the World". The spectacular Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound are a must see during your stay with many other activities available. A little slice of paradise awaits you!
With native bush everywhere, beautiful lakes, hidden lakes, waterfalls, deep fiords, wildlife, bush walks, Fiordland offers a sense of freedom and escape seldom found in any other areas of the world. The walking tracks allow access to towering snow capped peaks, tussock clad alpine plateaus, lush rain forests, gushing waterfalls, and the dramatic beauty of this southern paradise. Milford Sound is the most famous and accessible of the grand glacier carved fiords scattered along New Zealand's south western coast.
Mountain peaks with sculptural, hanging valleys, send waterfalls cascading over sheer granite cliffs to the sea below. Boat trips on the Sound are a must and provide close up views of awe inspiring scenery. These cruises are often accompanied by playful dolphins and seals basking on rocks are a common sight.
