Te Anau is the gateway to Milford Sound and is often visited on a road trip there. However, Te Anau is a destination in itself, and as one of Queenstown’s neighbors, I’ve visited more times than I can count. In fact, I considered moving there for a more affordable life (rent in Queenstown isn’t cheap!)
When it comes to visiting Te Anau, often a couple of days is enough. I personally do 2 to 3-night stays in Te Anau at a time and find that to be enough to see the area and visit Milford Sound. With that said, if you plan on hiking the Kepler Track or also visiting Doubtful Sound, you could certainly spend a lot more time in Te Anau.
Below, you’ll find all my guides to Te Anau, as well as blogs about Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound. Because let’s face it, Milford Sound tends to steal the spotlight, and you can’t mention Te Anau without mentioning Milford Sound!
So keep reading below if you plan on visiting Te Anau!
