The serene deep waters of Lake Te Anau make up the largest lake in the South Island and second largest in NZ, and are bordered on its western shore by lush virgin forest.
The attractive town of Te Anau lies nestled on the edge of this beautiful lake, with a spectacular backdrop of Mt Luxmore and the Murchison mountains.
Te Anau is the 'gateway to the fiords' being the closest town to Milford Sound, with a scenic 2½ hour drive.
A wide range of accommodation offers over 4,000 beds to weary travellers. Lodge, hotel, motel and boutique accommodation provide a restful break in comfort and style, while home and farm stays provide a genuine New Zealand experience. A range of holiday parks, backpacker and budget options ensure that everyone can find accommodation to suit their needs. Visitors are advised to book in during the summer months (particularly in February) as accommodation is in high demand.
Local cafés and restaurants provide a variety of dining options, from fish and chips to fine dining, and the opportunity to sample local Fiordland fare of venison, lobster and other seafood.
Te Anau offers seven day a week shopping facilities with competitively priced goods, including high quality apparel, gift and souvenir shops.
A full range of services exists within the town including ATM facilities, two major banks, service stations (offering fuel and workshop facilities), rental cars, a medical centre and a dentist.
Regular scheduled coach services link Fiordland to the West Coast, Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill.
