South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
Te Anau TOP 10 Holiday Park
3.5/5
The park was well placed in Te Anau and had good kitchen facilities.
The staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed in a self contained motel room, which was good but had a few not so good points: 1) there was nowhere to sit to get fresh air/sun. the park benches were quickly snapped up by the campers and there was nowhere outside of the room. 2) What was outside of the room was a boardwalk that everybody stomped along to get to reception, which meant it was noisy. 3) out the back of the room were campers in motorhomes and caravans and with the bathroom window open you could hear everything that was being said by the campers and hence the concern was that they could hear what was going on in the bathroom! This site served a purpose but would have preferred these deficiencies were addressed

4.5/5
We did both Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound with Orange on consecutive days.
Of the two I would choose Milford over Doubtful but they are two different experiences and both enjoyable. The Milford cruise has more going on, more waterfalls close up and quicker but you have the drive to get to the terminal. With Doubtful there is less to see close up but it was a more leisurely day. Both trips were very well organised and the staff were very knowledgeable and we felt we were in good hands the whole time, particularly the coach driver for the Doubtful trip, who drove very carefully and slowly. Very enjoyable Thanks Go Orange
