Owen River Lodge is located 90 minutes south of Nelson, 20 minutes north of Murchison. This location places us right in the middle of the greatest brown trout fishery in the world.
Our location provides our guests with panoramic views which are simply breath-taking, encompassing the Owen River, the beauty of Kahurangi national park and the majesty of Mount Owen.
We offer stylish, understated accommodation located right on the banks of the Owen River.
To ensure their absolute privacy, guests are accommodated in one of six purpose built guest cottage suites which are located in the gardens, a short stroll from the main lodge.
Each guest cottage suite has its own veranda, allowing guests to sit outside and drink in the stunning scenery, whilst listening to the sound of the river below.

The lodge is centrally located, with easy access to the Murchison, 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 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 as we are located right on the boundary of Kahurangi national park, countless others by helicopter.
We have been fortunate to have assembled one of the most experienced teams of fishing guides available in New Zealand. All our guides are kiwi locals and are members of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association.
We designed our six, purpose-built guest cottage suites at Owen River Lodge with both the angler and non-angler in mind. Our guest suites enjoy stunning views of the water, the valley and Kahurangi National Park, with the delightful sound of the Owen River in the background.
Their design emphasizes light and space, accentuated by soaring, cathedral-type ceilings. They all feature fine art works and 100 year-old recycled Oregon beams and woodwork. Our cottage suites can be configured with either a king-size double bed or twin single beds.
We have a total capacity of 12 guests.
