An insider's guide to Te Anau 13 Mar, 2021 11:00 PM 3 minutes to read The bird's eye view of the stunning setting of Te Anau. Photo / 123rf NZ Herald By: Fiona Lee Difficult to articulate, Fiordland is a place I am lucky to call home - it's a world-class destination New Zealanders should be extremely proud to have on our shores. The rawness, undeniable beauty, and wilderness values are off the scale - it's very special. If you're spending a bit of time in Te Anau, here are my top picks. Fiordland Cinema and Black Dog Bar Boutique, award-winning and an absolute must-visit. The Fiordland Cinema, with just 52 luxurious seats, offers guests the chance to view films in comfort and style. Locals shout about the eye-wateringly beautiful film Ata -Whenua. The 32-minute spectacle provides an insight into the extremities of Fiordland. Its sheer beauty, diverse terrain, seasonal elements, human connection and unique flora and fauna are beautifully captured to provide an experience any visitor to Fiordland must see. Be sure to grab a pre-movie cocktail, local wine, beer or snack at the adjoining stylish Black Bog Bar.
