The town of Te Anau lies alongside the largest lake in the South Island, beautiful Lake Te Anau and close to the world heritage area of Fiordland National Park.
Known as the “walking capital of the world” the town of Te Anau plays host to many thousands of hardy souls every year as they set out on excursions of one to many days in the surrounding mountains. Magnificent Milford Sound, one of the major tourist attractions in New Zealand, is just a spectacular two hour drive away.
