About Te Anau
Te Anau is a small lakeside town in New Zealand's Fiordland, the gateway to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and some of the country's finest walking tracks.
Te Anau sits on the eastern shore of Lake Te Anau, the largest lake in the South Island, on the edge of Fiordland National Park. Snow-capped mountains rise across the water and dense beech forest covers the slopes, and the park is part of the Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage area. The town is small, with a lakefront path and a wildlife centre where takahē, a rare flightless bird rediscovered in the nearby mountains in 1948, are kept.
