Takeaways, authentic chinese prepared for you by a lovely Chinese family. Also good fish and chips (i.e. fish fillets freshly battered and deep fried with potato fingers, then sprinkled with salt and wrapped in layers of paper - a very traditional NZ takeaway favourite!) If you must have vegetables :) you can add a spring roll which is a little rolled up parcel of cabbage and other finely chopped veges rolled up in a chinese pastry shell and deep fried. Plenty of other menu options. You can call in advance and arrange your meal to be ready for you to pick up at a nominated time.

Parks & Nature

Milford Sound is a very beautiful fiord, the northernmost and most easily accessible of the fiords in the Fiordland National Park. The route from Te Anau to Milford goes through a spectacular landscape of improbably steep sided glaciated valleys, ever changing its face with the passing of rainy, stormy weather, sunlight and soft, mountain mists. There are a number of lovely spots to stop and soak in the scenery, get up close to the lush vegetation and perhaps encounter some of our unique NZ wildlife. Several short walking routes start at spots along the road to Milford, all well signed. Milford is busiest with visitors in the middle of the day, so avoid midday if you like quiet.
