Our stargazing tours are becoming increasingly popular with guests.

Glen is a qualified ‘Dark Sky Ambassador’ with a passion for astronomy and sharing his knowledge.

He’ll show you 10-12 of the best deep-space objects, including planets, nebulae, stars and galaxies, using optical & digital telescopes, and astro-binoculars.

You may learn about the differences between the northern / southern hemispheres’ night sky, celestial navigation and Māori mythology. Small group sizes mean a truly immersive experience.

Our current guests absolutely loved viewing this stunning Aurora Australis.

Our dark sky means that the vibrant stars and Southern Lights can be viewed from the comfort of Fiordland Eco-Retreat’s front lawn - there’s no need to drive anywhere! ✨

Well done to all who ran the Kepler Challenge and Luxmore Grunt Mountain Run yesterday!!

If you’re suffering with sore muscles today, come up and have a soak in our large hot tub, overlooking the stunning Fiordland mountains.

We’ve had a last minute cancellation of the Eco-Retreat accommodation, so unless we get a new booking, our hot tub will be available for rent for the next 3 days / evenings.

Cost: $70 for 1-2 people (1 hour). $15 for each extra person, maximum 6 people total.

Includes: heated outside shower, towels, plastic / metal glassware, toilet and changing area.

First in first served. If you’d prefer to stay the night so that you can have as many hot tub soaks as you like, this may also be possible (subject to hot tub bookings).

Located on Ramparts Road, a 6 minute drive from Te Anau township.

Please phone Susanna on +64 (021) 147 9595 to make a booking, or for further information.

They’re big (bigger than a chicken), colourful, quirky looking and flightless.

And we have HUGE love for the takahē here at Fiordland Eco-Retreat! Glen’s entire career has centred around protecting and growing the population of this wonderful bird. And our old dog, Yuki, was also a takahē species dog, starting out as an eager 6 month old pup, and continuing right up until her retirement at the grand old age of 13.

No other bird started out the century being officially “extinct”, and then 75 years later, boasts a population that (just yesterday) reached the incredible milestone of 500 birds!!

SURELY the mighty takahē must be crowned New Zealand’s “Bird of the Century” for this mighty achievement!

Please vote for the takahē to be the NZ 2023 bird of the year / century.
Vote at www.birdoftheyear.org.nz

Voting closes this Sunday, 12 November 2023.
