Uniquely located in Fiordland National Park right beside the lake at Te Anau Downs, just 600 metres from the boat departure point for the famous Milford Track walk, Fiordland National Park Lodge is a tourist accommodation complex on a large 3 ha site just 28 km north of Te Anau and 90 km from Milford Sound.
Comprising 20 motels units, 24 hotel rooms, 11 backpacker rooms with hospitality bar/restaurant it is strategically located on the main tourist route from Queenstown and Te Anau to Milford Sound.
Improvements throughout the complex's backpacker, hotel and motel accommodation have spanned the past 50-60 years, with further potential to upgrade and develop.
The Lodge currently attracts a variety of visitors including backpackers and trampers heading to the Milford Track Walk and other local routes, and to Milford Sound, plus a number of tours and a variety of fishing, walking and nature groups.
With more active promotion of the Fiordland National Park to overseas visitors by Tourism NZ, the Lodge has seen increased visitor numbers over the last few years, and in particular, Chinese and other international tourists.
This is an ideal tourism opportunity with the scope for further development. The facility could be further adapted as an outdoor education centre, training camp and a retreat. The sale includes the buildings, chattels, business and 49 year lease with the Department of Conservation.
