Te Anau

The gateway to the Fiordland National Park, Te Anau sits on the shores of the 345 square kilometre Lake Te Anau which reaches depths of 417 metres. Te Anau Township is the starting point for many walking tracks including two of New Zealand's Great Walks, the Milford track and the Kepler track. The Milford road originates here and this is arguably one of the most scenic stretches of highway in the country.
