Basic site, fab setting.
Lies beneath Mt Cook with good access to walks (Hooker Valley + Mueller Hut). Fab sunrise and stars.

Small friendly company.
Old vans so the odd mishap expected!

Good for a rainy day in Dunedin!
And for chocolate lovers. Free samples throughout tour but none of the machines were actually in production - most run at night!

Best day walk by far I have done in NZ.
Make sure it is a clear day and carry plenty of food and water - you'll be rewarded by amazing 360 degree views. Stunning.

Great setting, great views, great showers.
Also offer parking for overnight if you do any of the multi-day walks.

Ranked for setting not amenities.
Can't beat the tranquility and beauty along the Milford Rd (once the tour buses have left for the day!).

Defy anyone not to enjoy the Milford Sound.
Smaller boat and not overcrowded. Also the guide didn't say too much which was refreshing as left to not enjoy the stunning scenery.

3-4 day Great Walk.
Very well maintained track and huts. Amazing scenery on second day (if clear!). Worth staying at Manapouri hut but last day walking is not worth it if pushed for time - exit at Rainbow Reach.
