Te Anau Hotels
Tantalising Te Anau
Te Anau is situated at the bottom of New Zealand. And it’s a bottom so pert you’ll find yourself wanting to admire it from every angle. Sitting on Lake Te Anau, (which borders Fiordland National Park) this is nearly as far south as you can go before falling into the ocean. Don’t panic, though – it would be hard to actually fall off the edge, considering the coast is covered with mountains.
While many people use Te Anau as a stopping ground to get to Milford Sound, there is plenty to do closer to the town itself. In fact, the town is often referred to as the walking capital of the world, due to the many amazing tracks in the area. You can access the likes of the Kepler Track by walking from the town centre. Bottoms up!

WHEN TO GO
· Te Anau is a water wonderland, with fiords, lakes and waterfalls. But all this water has to come from somewhere… What we’re trying to say is pack a raincoat if you plan on exploring.
· During the summer, with average temperatures around 22ºC (72ºF), the area also experiences longer twilights, allowing you to pack more into each day.
· Winter is far colder, but no less spectacular.
