Fiordland Lodge, New Zealand
Home Hotels Fiordland Lodge

Fiordland Lodge

Add to wishlist Contact us

Set on the edge of the Fiordland National Park, a three-million-acre wilderness area of mountains, lakes and rainforest, Fiordland Lodge sits above Lake Te Anau. Built using huge timer logs and river stone the interior is flooded with light through floor to ceiling windows which frame the spectacular views.

Each of the ten lodge rooms makes the most of the views and have a private balcony or lawn area plus two self-contained log cabins work well for families or groups.

Why we like Fiordland Lodge

Gateway to both Milford and Doubtful Sounds, Fiordland Lodge works perfectly for a night or two before embarking on an overnight cruise of the fiords.

Facilities

The restaurant serves high class cuisine and matching wines.

Activities

A stay here is very much about the great outdoors whether that be enjoying the view from the lodge or getting out and exploring it. Hiking, cycling, kayaking, fly fishing and bird watching are all possible. The lodge has its own helipad to taking to the air is also a fabulous way to experience the surrounding wilderness.
