What do you love about Fiordland?
I have had a long association with Fiordland from childhood boating holidays to the same with my own children. My father was very involved in the Save Manapouri campaign in 1970 and I am so grateful it was saved for us to still enjoy whether on a bike or in a boat. I feel very privileged to be able to spend my retirement in such a beautiful place as Fiordland. ... See MoreSee Less
