I could not do the multi day option due to physical problem. I did a walk from Rainbow reach to Te Anau. It took 4 hours to the control gate. The walk through the rainforest was very refreshing and beautiful. Prepare enough water and snack! And take waste with you.

It was a lovely and relaxing walk. We didn't go too far, only 45 minutes to and back, but it was a good distance for our four-year-old to see a beautiful forest covered with soft green moss. We walked down to the lake and spent a bit of time on the beach which was also really nice.

Beautiful ridge hike! We boated in from Te Anau to broad bay and hiked to iris burn and went back the same way (2 days 1 night). Because of the schizophrenic weather we opted to do the ridge twice just in case the weather was bad or not optimum. The first day to iris burn was all cloud and must that we aren't able to see the tips of the mountains and we hiked through cloud. The hike to iris burn is long with a poop tonne of switchback (it makes you wonder when or if you'll even get there. Lots of keas can be seen here as well. The hike itself is only hard when descending and ascending from iris burn. We left iris burn at 4:45am to make it back too broad bay at 4pm (We finished earlier and chilled by the lake) We were blessed with great weather and had great views definitely makes the hike that much better when the weather is on your side.

We walked a section of the track from Te Anau to Brod Bay. It was a lovely walk, well laid out on boardwalks at times and with good signage. You are in trees and ferns for all this part of the track but there are the odd toilet and a place to camp if you wish. The sound of the lake washing on the shore made for a very relaxing walk.

As expected for a Great Walk, it was hard. We packed carefully but our rucksacks weighed 13kg. The walk to Luxmore hut, in the rain was a steady slog uphill through beautiful forest, past towering limestone bluffs and finally across alpine tussock moorland. Luxmore hut was cold even with a fire and the effect of about 50 people making food and drying clothes made the inside damp. Once fed and tucked up in warm sleeping bags we slept well. On day 2 we hiked across the snow covered mountain ridge in poor visibility, but the track was easy to follow. Between the two shelters, the cloud cleared and the sun began to shine in a blue sky, as we made the long descent to Iris Burn hut and back into the forest. The long views from high up had been tremendous. Day 3 dawned warm and bright so we welcomed the shade whilst under the trees. We also hiked along a beautiful valley with some very high waterfalls. We reached Lake Manapouri and shortly after, Motorua hut for our last overnight. Our bunks in the dorm allowed a fabulous view of the night sky through the long windows By now we had become firm friends with several of our fellow trampers whom we had spent time with in the huts, or on the track. Our last day was a walk in the forest, often beside the river that connects Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri. This is the only Great Walk that I know where it is easy to walk to and from. We walked back to Te Anau where we were booked into a nice hotel with a bath. We had a marvellous time, having spent time with wonderful people from all over the world, The Rangers were great, as was the DOC. The system had worked well from initial enquiry to completion. There were no surprises (apart from the snow) Everthing was more or less as we had been advised before we left the UK.
