Helpfulness
Milford Sound is a stunning body of still dark waters from which rise forest covered sheer cliffs to a height of up to 1,692 metres.
The township itself is fairly unimpressive despite the grandeur which surrounds it. There's not much to it except for a cruise terminal and carpark.
It has minimal choice of accommodation and very few restaurants, so most tourists tend to be day visitors.
Milford Sound is either a very long road trip or avery scenic half hour flight from Queenstown.

As Jac and I had booked the 1pm boat ride in Milford Sound at our motel, we had to pace ourselves as it would take us about 5-6 hours drive from Queenstown. We also wanted to leave early so that we can leave the tourist buses in our wake and ensure that the places that we visit are now swamped with tourists as most, if not all of the tourists start their trip from Queenstown.
Actually, as we were leaving, many tour buses went past our motel towards Milford Sound.
