Named by early settlers after their native Milford Haven in Wales, the region’s history encompasses both Maori and European journeys and settlement. You'll be enthralled by the immense landscape as you travel from Te Anau, through glacial carved valleys, to the deep waters of Milford Sound and the well-known image of Mitre Peak. Fiordland Lodge is located a few minutes north of Te Anau on route to Milford Sound.
