Fiordland Lodge Stay and Milford Sound Experience

5 New Zealand

Stay within the World Heritage Listed “Fiordland” region, overlooking Lake Te Anau. The region is renowned for the famous Milford and Doubtful Sounds and their glacier-carved wilderness.

The drive from Queenstown is 2 hours and the lodge is just a 10 minute drive from the town of Te Anau, the “gateway to Milford Sound”. Fiordland is a landscape dominated by water and rainforest, where you can experience the spectacular scenery by boat and foot. The regions’ many walking tracks offer varying perspectives of rocky ridge lines, beech forest or lush ferns, and range in degrees of difficulty.

Visiting in Autumn, weather is still pleasant, cooling down in May as the daylight hours shorten. The native forest remains green but the exotic trees in the townships change to vibrant colours.

Your holiday Includes:
3 nights at the picturesque Fiordland Lodge
Daily breakfast, pre- dinner canapés and complimentary mini-bar
Milford Sound small group tour – full day, coach, cruise and walk
Te Anau Glow Worm Caves tour
