1. The name of the fjord comes from Captain Cook
Because the fjord was narrow and the boat was very dangerous, Captain James Cook did not sail into the harbor at that time. Later, when they arrived there, hunters who killed whales and seals called it Doubtful Sound.
Like other fjords in the region, the waters of the magic fjord are divided into two distinct layers. The top few meters are freshwater flowing from the surrounding mountains, and the bottom is salt water from the sea.
Because the refractive index of fresh water and seawater is different, it is difficult for light to shine in. Therefore, many deep-sea species, such as black corals, grow in relatively shallow places.
2. Beautiful natural landscape and rich wildlife
The magic fjord is distributed with several waterfalls flying down, especially in the rainy season. Brown Falls in Hall Bay is 619 meters long; Helena Falls in the deep bay is 220 meters long.

20Gibbston Valley Winery & RestaurantAs early as the early 1980s, Alan Brady, founder of Gitten Manor, planted a grapevine in the Gibbston area with a passion for winemaking. The interaction of sunlight, soil, and climate in this 45 ° south latitude land has achieved the miracle of grape planting in this area.
Based on this planting experience, Alan also realized the patience and sharpening required to cultivate great wine fruits.
Only certain grape varieties can survive in the local cool climate. In 1983, Alan created Home Block, the vineyard of Gitten Manor, and produced the first commercial vintage wine of the manor in 1987. The wine produced by Alan was immediately recognized. Subsequently, a number of imitators followed suit, following the pace of the pioneers.
Since Alan, the founder, planted vines here, Gitten Manor has been improving various services and environmental facilities for decades.
