TE ANAU
Te Anau is a resort town on Lake Te
Anau. Te Anau is also the last stop before Milford Sound and
accommodates all of the Sounds traffic. Te Anau is a busy place.
Te Anau is also the drop off town for
those that walk the famous Milford Track.
Te Anau is also a young town that
benefited with the construction of the Lake Manapouri power generation
station. A number people involved with the construction settled in Te
Anau.
The
extraordinary scenic beauty has earned this region a reputation as a
significant sightseeing and walking destination, and a 'Must See' for
anyone traveling to New Zealand.
The
hub of the Fiordland region is the attractive town
of Te Anau. From here it is an easy 2- 2 & 1/2 hours drive to Milford
Sound and 20 minutes by coach to Lake Manapouri and the start of a
Doubtful Sound excursion. Te Anau has a range of activity options,
fine restaurants, seven days a week shopping and can cater for all
levels of accommodation.
Te Anau has a number of churches
  and
also this glass walled chapel.
The
War Memorial is very tasteful, given the town has only been in
existence since the 1939-1945 War.
The Hotel/Tavern is a building of the
70’s era.
Te Anau is a very pretty place and
definitely deserves more than just on night stop over.
