The lodge sits on the bank of the Owen River, providing our guests with views which are simply breath-taking, with sensational views of the Owen River, the valley and Mount Owen.

The Lodge is centrally located, with easy access to the Nelson/ Marlborough and West Coast fisheries. This unique location places us right in the middle of the best brown trout fishery in the world.

Our guests enjoy fly fishing on numerous blue-ribbon streams and rivers, with over 30 waters accessible by road (most within 1 hour’s drive), and countless others by helicopter.

One of the highlights of your stay at will be the meals. New Zealand's unique cuisine has grown from a fusion of highly distinct cultures - Maori, Polynesian, Asian and every kind of European. We call the cuisine that emerges from this fusion - Pacifica cuisine.

The food could best be described as stunning. We use the best of fresh, locally sourced produce and wines.

Naturally the tariff includes all your meals and non alcoholic beverages.
