Owen River Lodge - Murchison
Owen River Lodge is located in the Owen Valley near Murchison, in the Nelson Lakes district of the South Island of New Zealand. Situated two kilometres from the main highway down a lovely country lane which follows the Owen River, a leisurely 90 minute drive from Nelson or approximately 3.5 hours from Christchurch.
The lodge sits on the bank of the Owen River among 16 acres of gardens and farmland. With almost a kilometre of river frontage, it is an ideal locale for a quick practise before you venture out with your fishing guide or for that quiet after-dinner cast during the evening rise.
The food at Owen River Lodge could best be described as stunning! Ryan, the head chef, has cooked for leading restaurants in New Zealand, USA and England. The lodge uses the very best of fresh, locally-sourced produce, much of which is picked right out of the lodge’s own vegetable and herb garden. The tariff includes all meals beer, house wine and non-alcoholic beverages.
Owen River Lodge is absolutely a specialist fishing lodge. However,the facilities and service offerings we provide have been developed for the angler and the non-angler alike. To ensure the absolute privacy of our guests, we designed and built six guest cottage suites in the lodge gardens. Each cottage suite comes complete with wonderful views of the river, the valley and the mountains beyond.
The main lodge building includes the dining room, lounge room, sitting room, lodge shop, fly tying area and, of course, the bar.
All six, purpose-built guest cottage suites at Owen River Lodge with both the angler and non-angler in mind. They are located in the garden, a short stroll from the main lodge building. These luxuriously-appointed suites enjoy stunning views of the water, the valley and Kahurangi National Park, with the delightful sound of the Owen River in the background. Accommodation suites can be configured with either a king-size double bed or twin single beds. The lodge has a total capacity of 12 guests.
Suites are equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning, an electronic safe, ironing facilities, an alarm clock, mini bar stocked with complimentary soft drinks, premium New Zealand fruit juices and mineral waters, and tea and coffee making facilities - with real freshly ground coffee beans. They also contain en suite bathrooms equipped with oversized towels, bathrobes, a hairdryer and, of course, quality New Zealand made shower gels, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner.
The lodge has won numerous accolades, including feature articles in many of the world’s leading fishing and non-fishing magazines:
