That feeling when Condé Nast Traveler names your backyard as one of the world's most beautiful places 💅😇

Described as “a mountainous fjord where you can live out all of your Lord of the Rings fantasies”, Milford Sound has well and truly earned its place on the list of Mother Nature's greatest hits.

They ranked alongside the Amazon, Machu Picchu and the Grand Canyon, but one was complimented on a very non-NZ feature.
