About Fiordland

Prospect Lodge is situated on the edge of Fiordland National Park – World Heritage Area, overlooking Lake Te Anau and adjacent to the Kepler Mountains, home of the well-known Kepler walking track. Fiordland hosts many visitors each year to visit some of the more accessible areas such as Milford Sound and its iconic Mitre Peak, or Doubtful Sound and if you are lucky enough, its lesser known ‘Sound of Silence’.

Hiking and walking from your accommodation in Fiordland

Fiordland is home to other well-known walking tracks such as the Hollyford, Routeburn, Milford and Hump Ridge tracks, but also within a short driving time of Prospect Lodge are a great range of fantastic day walks, suitable for a range of capabilities. There is incredible conservation work being undertaken in Fiordland which is giving visitors to our area a good chance to see native bird species, some highly endangered, while on some of these walks. It can be very worthwhile taking a guided day trip to give you the extra realness offered only by people who really know the area and its flora and fauna.
