Te Anau Motels - Reviews and Rates

We left Wanaka at 6:30 AM to drive the 290km to Manapouri; we had light rain much of the way. We drove past many wineries, a few ski areas, and fields filled with grazing sheep and deer. Then we went along a road through Kawarau Gorge where they have bungy jumping platforms. After Cromwell, we drove past Queenstown and along Lake Wakatipu. Queen...

The drive to Te Anau is amazing with snow capped mountains all around. They are only around 2,000m but they jet out opf the ground at such steep angles they look increadible! There are loads of sheep down here and a fair few deer. Te Anau is a small town where most people arange trecks etc from. There is very little here and as there was no choi...

On Saturday morning, Conor, Jen (Conor's house mate), Sarah(my housemate) and Christine(Jen's friend visiting from Sydney) and I hired a car and headed off for Te Anau and Queenstown. Te Anau (don't ask about the pronunciation....we had several arguments over this!!) was our first port of call to see the famous glow worm caves. Te Anau is about ...

Doubtful Sound Cruise Vi havde booket en dagstur til Doubtful Sound fra Te Anau med Real Journey. Det var en velorganiseret tur med velholdt materiel og meget dygtige guider. Og så var vi igen heldige med vejret! Skyfri himmel hele dagen! Jeg tror at vi ca 1 gang i timen fik at vide hvor usædvanligt det er i et område hvor de har ”4 arstid...

how to describe the South Island, and in particular, Central Otago? um.. *jaw gaping open* words kind of don't suffice in this situation. at this exact moment, Aaron and I are leaving Wanaka and driving south towards Queenstown. what are we passing? hills on one part of the right side.. mountains just beyond that. taller, snow-capped mountain pe...

Having hiked down from Howden hut to a pickup area called "The Divide", we were picked up by a bus at 7:45am for our next adventure. We had decided to do two different kayaking trips (with Fiordland Wilderness Experience) right after the Routeburn Track (it sounded like a good idea at the time - or at least it sounded good to me). We kayaked Mil...

Alex: We left Wanaka at the sparrows ****, as they say round here, heading for Te Anau in Fiordland to visit Milford Sound. Despite the fact we weren't staying a night and didn't want to go bungy jumping we didn't want to miss Queenstown completely so we stopped briefly for breakfast. Its a very pretty town, situated on a gorgeous lake and edged...

Queenstown, New Zealand. In Maori it is know as Whera-Mai-Mone-Go which translates into English as 'The Land Where The Wallet Empties'. The sole purpose of Queenstown appears to be to relieve you of your funds quicker than a debit card cloner. In exchange you are subjected to a series of experiences with any one of the follow phrases in their de...

Pip (mat's better half) and Mathew took me to Pip's Gran's house in Te Anau for a couple of days. When we arrived we were greeted with a lovely roast dinner which is definitely the best thing that I have eaten since I started travelling. With a night of drinking copious amounts of tea and hearing all about grans white water rafting experience (o...

Well, I'm here in Te Anau, a nice little town known mostly as the gateway to the Milford Sounds. Milfod Sounds are apparently the most famous tourist destination in New Zealand! I had no idea but after seeing them, I can see why. I am staying at another (deer) farm here, just outside Te Anau. It is a lovely place, big cabins with ensuites, heati...
