Discover Fiordland, at your own pace.
From guided stargazing beneath Fiordland’s dark skies to exploring spectacular fjords and walking trails, there’s plenty to make your stay at Fiordland Eco-Retreat memorable. Whether you’re seeking adventure, wildlife encounters or time to unwind, Te Anau is an ideal base for discovering this remarkable region.
Stargazing Experiences
Experience Fiordland’s dark skies on a small-group guided stargazing tour with Fiordland Stargazing. Using telescopes and expert guidance, discover stars, planets and other celestial objects while learning more about the night sky from New Zealand Dark Sky Ambassador Glen.
Stargazing is weather-dependent, but when conditions cooperate, it can be a memorable highlight of your stay.
Explore Fiordland
Discover the Best of the Region: Cruise beneath the towering cliffs of Milford Sound, experience the remote wilderness of Doubtful Sound, explore scenic walking trails or venture further afield on one of Fiordland’s Great Walks. You’ll also find opportunities for kayaking, cycling, scenic flights and wildlife encounters.
Our Activities page brings together recommendations, local experiences and practical information to help you plan your adventures.
Time to Unwind
After a day exploring Fiordland, return to the retreat and slow down. Soak in your own private hot tub, surrounded by mountain scenery, or enjoy the warmth of our wood-fired cedar sauna, if you’re saying in The Lookout.
Sauna use is only for adults aged 18 and over.
Some Memories Aren’t on the Itinerary
A peaceful evening in the hot tub. A sky full of stars. And, if nature is kind, the Southern Lights dancing above your head.
Aurora sightings are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed.

“The most incredible views, the perfect location close to town. The property itself is modern and comfortable and the hot tub was such bliss on a still night watching the stars. Such generous hosts… My absolute favourite stay in all of NZ. Worth every penny!”
