Why Stay in Milford Sound?
In summer thousands of tourists visit Milford sound via car, coach, helicopter and plane every day. They can only see a fraction of what Milford has to offer before they head home. To truly experience Milford Sound you need to stay here…
The classic Milford Sound experience is a dash in and dash out with some photos experience. And do it when the crowds are at their largest… Great if you just want to ‘see’ Milford but day trippers miss out on the true Milford Sound experience.
Taking the time to stay in Milford offers you a chance to enjoy the majestic beauty of the sound and the rainforest that surrounds it in the quiet before and after the crowds. But more than that it gives you time to truly experience a very special place…
- Take the time to experience one of the walks to be enjoyed and rare wildlife to be seen if you meander along the Milford Road without the need to rush to fit in your cruise in a day. A day might not be enough to see all the road offers.
- Take the time to stay with us and enjoy an early morning kayak trip or a less-crowded afternoon cruise — opportunities not available if you need to get here and back to Te Anau or Queenstown in a day.
- Take the time to really experience Fordland’s world-renowned combination of rainforest and alpine landscape by hiking one of the many local multi-day walks.
(Hint: treating yourself to a night or two in our luxury riverside chalets is the perfect way to rest and recuperate after your hike.)
- Simply take the time to relax in the midst of Milford’s beauty — what better way to recharge your batteries after trying to see as much of the South Island as you can?
We know that there is a lot to see in our part of the world. But you won’t regret allowing time in your itinerary to stay in Milford Sound and enjoy some of the unforgettable travel experiences available to people who stay with us.
