The Owen River Lodge is a boutique, contemporary styled fly fishing lodge, which opened in November 2003. We are located in the Owen Valley, in the Nelson Lakes district of the South Island of New Zealand.  This unique location places us right in the middle of the best trout fishery in the world.
We are situated 2 kilometres down a country lane from the main highway, a leisurely 75 minute drive from Nelson or approximately 3.5 hours from Christchurch.
Immerse yourself in the luxurious, warm and inviting ambiance that is Owen River lodge. Forget about the outside world; come and soak up the stylish, cool, understated environment of Owen River Lodge.
The views from the Lodge and cottages are breath taking, with sensational views of the Owen River, the valley and Mount Owen. The lodge sits on the bank of the Owen River, ideal for that quiet after-dinner cast during the evening rise.
The lodge has two lounge areas. One of these is equipped with a TV/Video Player and DVD player, together with a PC for you to check e-mail's etc.  

Our facilities comprise the main lodge building which includes the dining room, lounge room, sitting room and of course, the bar. 
To ensure your absolute privacy, guests are accommodated in cottages located in the garden with stunning views of the river, the valley and the mountains beyond. The cottages were constructed in 2003, when the lodge was extensively refurbished. Each cottage overlooks the river, with the Mt Owen ranges soaring beyond. They are configured with either a king-size double bed or twin king-size single beds. There are 6 cottages, giving us a total capacity of 12 guests.
The lodge is situated on 16 acres of gardens and farmland, with almost 1 kilometre of absolute river frontage to the Owen River. The lodge is first and foremost a fly fishing lodge; however, we certainly cater for non fishing guests.

Our priority is to offer our guests friendly, no-fuss hospitality. We aim to provide you with the very best trout fishing holiday.
