Lovely place to stay for a trip to Milford Sound! A day trip from Queenstown is possible but would be so long (probably 8 hours round trip, leaving very little time there) so staying in Te Anau cuts that in half. The place is spacious yet cozy, and in our short time there felt very much at home (if only!). Good amenities, great communication, and unparalleled location. On a clear day, there is a great view of the mountains outside the front door!
