Description

New Zealand - Glowworm Caves - Lake Te Anau - N. S. Seaward's Studio - Real Photo Postcard Format #601288 - Lake Te Anau is in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. The lake covers an area of 344 km2 (133 sq mi), making it the second-largest lake by surface area in New Zealand (after Lake Taupo) and the largest in the South Island. It is the largest lake in Australasia by fresh water volume. - The English translation of the Maori name Te Anau has been disputed. It was supposed by many that Te Anau was the name of the granddaughter of Hekeia, a chief of the Waitaha tribe, whose name now belongs to a mountain on the Longwood Range. When the Te Ana-au Caves were rediscovered in 1948, earlier explanations of the name were replaced by the interpretation of the full name Te Ana-au, Maori for 'The cave of swirling water'.

Built with a decorative facade with empty glass bottles, the building was demolished circa 2005. The bottle house formed part of Mountain View Lodge and was built and owned by Hilton Hensman.
