Straight-line distances, not road or driving time. In Fiordland roads wind around lakes and mountains and the real drive is longer; plan the journey with a current map and check the road status before you set out.
This place sits in Elsewhere in the South Island. The gateways section of the guide explains the road from Queenstown and Invercargill to Te Anau.
