Facts - Te Anau - the gateway to the Fiordland National Park is only 2 hours drive from Queenstown. Situated on the shores of Lake Te Anau, one of the great Southern Lakes, this lively and pretty lakeside community bustles with cafés, shops, accommodation and activities. Te Anau is the nearest town to Milford and Doubtful Sounds as well as having the famous Milford and Kepler Great Walks on its doorstep. The name Te Anau is of Maori origin (Te Ana-au), meaning ‘rushing waters in a cave’ but the caves were only rediscovered in the 1940s. At 12,000 years old, the caves are relatively young and are still being formed by water action. These days they’re famous for the glowworm grotto deep inside. Manapouri - only 15 minutes drive from Te Anau, the township nestles beside what is renowned as New Zealand’s most beautiful lake. The lake’s dotted with over 30 small islands, covered in native bush and accessible by boat. Lake Manapouri, or ‘Lake of the Sorrowing Heart’, is the gateway to Doubtful Sound and home to part of the famous Kepler Track.The Bridesmaids of New Zealand Lakes is the affectionate name often bestowed on Lake Te Anau, NZ’s second largest lake, and Lake Manapouri, the second deepest!
