    Fiordland
    
    Meditative Milford - Get yourself in a zen state as this place is intense. Once the tour buses depart by 4pm, the locals are in their element (including sandflies). Find yourself in a quiet space and do what you need to do to take it all in.

A quiet , peaceful spot behind the house. Talked to the horses, watched the ducks, quick visit from the cat. Small farmyard with trees, and lots of green. It even offers power! Priced per vehicle -- l think.
