Just a lovely place to visit. If going to Milford Sound have to go through Ta Anau so definitely worth a stop
This is another beautiful lake in the Fjordland region of the South Island. There is space to walk along the shore. Te Anau, the town, goes right up to the shore so if you get out of town a little you can really enjoy the peacefulness.
The lake is pure and still. Plenty of birdlife to be seen and you can walk along the shore for miles. close to the city centre at one point and the visitor centre is on the shoreline
Lake Te Anau is brilliant and there is simply no other word for it. It is a vast expanse of water and we can walk around it (for the parts that I chose to walk). The place is idyllic and like a scene from picture post cards. In fact it is like a series of picture post cards.
Nice place, beautiful lake. Recommend that you go there. Lots of great sightseeing, bush walks, not many sandflies, great restaurants. Recommend REAL JOURNEYS for boat trips Milford and Doubtful Sounds. Very professional outfit and great tour guides and boats and buses
On a clear day, absolutely beautiful views and walks around the lake. Interesting fact boards around the lake and a small bird sanctuary made the lake area very interesting. The town was less interesting and unless we needed to return for hiking or for trips we would not return
Having travelled all the way to Te anau and making arrangements to stay for three nights, the lake itself was a bit disappointing or maybe my expectations were too high. It is the second largest lake and the lakeside walk for 5 kms was not too spectacular. The boating activities were minimal and generally was a bit dull. Other than Milford and doubtful sound trips there is nothing much else to do, as it was very cold also, even it being summer. So I left on the third day itself instead of on the fourth day.
There is so much to do here, float plane rides, visit the glow worm caves, cruise along the lake or just relax on the grassy banks and watch the world go by.
NZ is studded with lakes and this is one of the many beautiful ones. A regular coach stops with the usual snack bar and gift shops and of course, toilettes!
在南岛开车经过许多湖,到Te Anau的时候,感觉这里的湖光山色和纽西兰其他地方相较之下并不算特别漂亮,没有Lake Wakatipu那么蓝,也没有Lake Tekapo那么美,但是沿着湖岸走的时候还是可以感觉到这是个很安静而缓慢的小镇。
