Milford Sound is in Fiordland on the south west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is only reached by land via a town Called Te Anau; you then travel along the shore of lake Te Anau, up the Eglington Valley and through the Homer Tunnel.
New Zealand's largest city is Auckland with a population of 1,313,200.
The shortest direct as-the-crow-flies route from New Zealand (let's say Auckland because it is the largest city and likely to be closest to the Americas) and the city of Toronto, Canada, would be approximately 13 877 km2 or 8623 sq mi. The route around the Pacific Ocean would be closer than the distance through Eurasia.
Whangarie
Yes. Christchurch is a city in the far south of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the largest city on the South Island, and the third largest city in the country. It is also, unfortunately, earthquake-prone.
Whakatane? it at the costal point but am not sure if it is the closest.
neither. Milford sound is a classic Fiord - steep-walled valley sides, and entering the sea.
The closest national capital is Canberra. Canberra. This is the ONLY capital city of Australia. (The next closest capital city is in New Zealand.) :)
