We stayed at Fiordland Lodge in November 2025, and it was easily the highlight of our trip.||The property is absolutely beautiful, but what really stood out was how personal and genuine the entire experience felt. With only a handful of guests, it truly felt like a boutique stay where every detail was thoughtful and every interaction felt sincere.||Managers James and Gethin, along with the rest of the staff, were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived and were always ready with helpful tips on what to see and do around Te Anau and along the drive up to Milford Sound.||Our room was spacious, spotless, and cozy, with a cabin-like feel and a breathtaking view of Fiordland. The bathroom had heated floors, which was such a nice touch after a cool day out.||At night, being in Dark Sky country, we could see the stars and even the Milky Way right from our balcony—it was absolutely unforgettable.||The lodge has two hot tubs and sauna which guests can privately use. We enjoyed both after we arrived, and it was the perfect way to unwind while taking in the incredible scenery.||Breakfast was included and featured plenty of hearty, delicious options. The lodge also offers packed lunches for guests heading out on day trips, which was such a thoughtful detail. We ordered some for our Milford Sound adventure, and they were ready for us at breakfast, neatly packed in insulated lunch boxes.||Canapés and dinner were also included and were absolutely fantastic. The menu changes daily, and every dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully prepared.||Everything about Fiordland Lodge felt calm, personal, and perfectly designed.||We didn’t have a care in the world while we were there. It’s a beautiful, welcoming place that we’d return to in a heartbeat—truly the best place we’ve ever stayed.
