Overview
Escape to New Zealand's only 5 star rated, specialist fly fishing lodge
Immerse yourself in the luxurious, warm and inviting ambiance that is our lodge.
Forget about the outside world; come and soak up the stylish, cool, understated environment of Owen River Lodge.
Marvel at our stunning location - right on the Owen River in the South Island of New Zealand.
Enjoy the stunning food, wonderful surrounds, superb service and outstanding fly fishing that we offer.
Come and sample our slice of heaven.
The lodge is situated on 16 acres of gardens and farmland, with almost 1 kilometer of absolute river frontage to the Owen River.
One of the highlights of your stay at Owen River Lodge will be the meals. New Zealand's unique cuisine has grown from a fusion of highly distinct cultures - Mâori, Polynesian, Asian and every kind of European. We call the cuisine that emerges from this fusion - Pacifica cuisine.
The food at Owen River Lodge could best be described as stunning. We use the best of fresh, locally sourced produce and wines. Naturally the tariff includes all meals and non alcoholic beverages.
To ensure your absolute privacy, guests are accommodated in one of our guest cottage suites which are located in the gardens, a short stroll from the main lodge. All the guest suites have stunning views of the river, valley and mountains.
Each cottage is luxuriously appointed with reverse cycle air conditioning; king sized beds, original fine art works and feature 100 year old recycled oregon beams and woodwork.
For the fly fishing enthusiast - the Lodge is centrally located, with easy access to the Nelson/ Marlborough and West Coast fisheries.
Thus you can 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.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
