Farmstay Te Anau, Fiordland, New Zealand

Crown Lea Introduction

Crown Lea is our farmstay in Te Anau, Fiordland, close to Queenstown, Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound.

Nestled amongst the majestic Southern Alps of the South Island, our Te Anau bed and breakfast is a working 900 acre farm, where John and Florence farm sheep, beef cattle and deer.

Whether you want to take a few days to explore the beauty of Fiordland, or experience life on a working New Zealand farm, this Te Anau bed and breakfast offers Southern Hospitality at its finest.

The famous Southern Hospitality is no myth, and the thousands of guests that have stayed at our Te Anau farmstay, as well as the many who return to Crown Lea farmstays time and time again bear testimony to the quality of the Crown Lea experience.

Fiordland is located on the south-west coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

As one of the most dramatic and beautiful parts of New Zealand, Fiordland has achieved World Heritage status and is often called the Sightseeing and Walking Capital of the world.

The power of Fiordland's stunning scenery never fails to enthrall travellers. Waterfalls tumble hundreds of metres into massive fiords; ancient rainforest clings impossibly to the mountains; shimmering lakes and granite peaks look the same today as they did a thousand years ago.

Fiordland was well known to Maori, who have many legends recounting its formation and naming. Legend tells of Tute Rakiwhanoa, who is said to have carved the rugged landscape from formless rock, hewing out the steep sided valleys with his adzes.

The best base for exploring the Fiordland region is the attractive resort town of Te Anau. From here it is an easy two hours drive to Milford Sound and twenty minutes drive to Lake Manapouri and the start of a Doubtful Sound excursion. The road to Milford Sound is considered to be one of the world's finest alpine drives.
