Lake Te Anau is about 2km from our front door in Soutland and we have wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. There are some lovely walking/hiking trails nearby and several excellent trout-fishing rivers.

Milford Sound is a must do while visiting Fiordland - The HIGHWAY TO MILFORD SOUND is one of the most spectacular scenic drives in the world. Although the 119-kilometre distance from Te Anau to Milford can be covered in two hours there are just so many viewpoints and side trips on the way that a full day should be allowed for the journey.

There are several options we can recommend including taking a small, personalized tour. Alternatively a combined scenic flight, cruise and coach tour of the region gives the best of all possible worlds.

Doubtful Sound is another worthwhile day trip by boat and coach or by kayak.

There are numerous other sightseeing options in Fiordland such as either guided walks or on your own on the Milford Track or Kepler Track to explore the forest and bird life, sea and Lake Manapouri boat trips, breathtaking flights by helicopters or float plane or stay overnight in the Fjords travelling by motorboat or Kayak.

You may also be interested in visiting the Te Anau-au Caves. The three-hour caves trip departs by boat from the centre of Te Anau Township throughout the day.

Several highly respected Fishing Guides live in the Te Anau region and we are able to put you in touch with one if you need some professional advice on the local fishing conditions. You might also like to visit here for the latest information on fishing in New Zealand.
