Owen River Lodge is where New Zealand’s reputation for big trout was built. Located in the South Island’s Tasman region, the lodge accesses nearly 30 brown trout fisheries. Here, landing six-pounders is basically routine.
Your guide team draws on decades of experience to equip you with the right techniques and access to productive water. On top of offering the world’s best sight fishing, this multi-award-winning lodge is just down the road from some of the best hiking, mountain biking, and wine tasting on the planet.
Owen River Lodge isn’t just an angling powerhouse—it’s also a lodging icon. Four-time winner of Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, the property’s three secluded cottages sit along the banks of the Owen River and have verandas and a hot tub overlooking Kahurangi National Park. The culinary program offers farm-to-table creations sustainably sourced from the gardens woven throughout the property.
Three riverside cottages, each with two privately accessed rooms with separate bathrooms and verandas (beds configured as either one king or two twins). Main lodge with dining room, lounge, bar, and veranda. Massage room, outdoor hot tub, and riverside lounge. Two acres of riverside vegetable gardens, harvested for meals. Lodge shop and fly-tying bench.
Try adding on heli-accessed fly fishing trips, whitewater rafting, or a massage.
Fishing season runs from September 30th to April 30th.
