Set in a World Heritage Area, Fiordland Lodge offers the discerning traveler comfort and
privacy. The elegance and splendor of the Lodge is mirrored in the breathtaking views of Lake
Te Anau and Fiordland. Private and serene, the Lodge is the perfect base for a Fiordland
experience. The open architecture of the lodge reflects the vastness of the Fiordland National
Park. High ceilings, full trunk pillars, and a massive riverstone fireplace provide a warm
spacious environment, with a sense of solidity and style. Superb New Zealand cuisine, along
with specially selected New Zealand wines, is served in the Lodge's dining room. 
Complementing the Lodge's ten guest rooms are two traditionally built Log Cabins, ideal for
families.  Fiordland Lodge is home to Fiordland Guides, a professional and experienced guiding
service for fly fishing, birdwatching, and nature walking. Fiordland Guides specializes in
upstream sight fishing on the remote rivers of Fiordland, or back country fishing closer to
home. All fishing is catch and release.   Situated on a rural property, 5 mins north of Te
Anau, Fiordland Lodge is the perfect base from where to discover the magic of Milford Sound
and Doubtful Sound, explore the Glowworm Caves, or take a scenic flight. It is the departure
point for the world famous Milford, Routeburn and Hollyford Tracks, and just the place to
relax in comfort on your return.  The mountains appear closer than usual, imposing and
immense. As a hawk circles overhead, alert for any small movement in the grasses below, the
eye is caught by ripples of breezes playing across the lake's surface. Celestial beams,
escaping from storm clouds, throw spotlights onto islands at the entrance to South Fiord
against a backdrop of the Kepler and Murchison Mountains. Meanwhile, nature voyeurs are
transfixed as they witness the raw beauty on display before them.  Fiordland, on New Zealand's
southwest corner, has long been recognised as one of the great eco-heritage areas o.
