Where to stay near Mirror Lake?

Other landmarks near Mirror Lake

Milford Sound is a cliche must do for a good reason - it's awesome!! (Although I might like Doubtful sound "better". At least in comparing the actual sounds or fjords as they actually are). The upside to Milford - the drive there is beautiful and in Milford you can also kayak and check out the underwater observatory... Ooo and you get to go under Stirling Falls, which was amazing! This is Bowen falls which is the other permanent waterfall in Milford Sound. The day I was there was so sunny, and it was beautiful, the guides even said they never see it that clear and sunny! However, Milford is supposed to be even more magical in the rain because then hundreds of small waterfalls appear everywhere. The one time rain would've been good! Lol
