Milford Sound Lodge: A 90-year history of hospitality in Fiordland

The remarkable history of Milford Sound Lodge: 90 years in the making
Milford Sound Lodge has a story as deep and dramatic as the fiord it sits beside. From its beginnings as a remote workers’ camp in the 1930s to its present-day reputation as one of New Zealand’s most unique accommodation experiences, the Lodge is woven into the history of Fiordland National Park. As we mark 90 years of history in 2025, we’re proud to share how this rugged outpost became a refined sanctuary—and the many people, challenges, and milestones that helped shape it.
