| OWEN RIVER LODGE |
| THE LODGE |
| Owen River Lodge is a boutique contemporary styled 5 star rated fishing lodge which opened in November 2003. We are located in the Owen Valley near Murchison, in the Nelson Lakes district of the South Island of New Zealand. This unique location places us right in the middle of the best brown trout fishery in the world. The lodge is situated 2 kilometres down a country lane from the main highway, a leisurely 90 minute drive from Nelson or approximately 3.5 hours from Christchurch. |

| We love to spoil our guests, allowing them to immerse themselves in the luxurious, warm and inviting ambiance that is Owen River Lodge. Forget about the outside world- come and soak up the stylish, warm, understated environment of Owen River Lodge- New Zealand's only 5 star rated luxury fishing lodge. The views from the Lodge and guest cottage suites are breathtaking, with sensational outlooks to the Owen River, the valley, Mount Owen & the Kahurangi National Park. The lodge sits on the bank of the Owen River and with almost a kilometre of river frontage, it is an ideal locale for that quiet after-dinner cast during the evening rise. |

| The food at Owen River Lodge could best be described as stunning. We use the very best of fresh, locally sourced produce, much of which is right out of the lodge's own garden. Naturally the tariff includes all meals and non alcoholic beverages. |

In the lodge grounds, just past our organic herb and vegetable gardens you will find the massage / therapy room & our outdoor Jacuzzi/spa. To ensure your absolute privacy, guests are accommodated in six purpose built guest cottage suites which are located in the garden. Each comes complete with stunning views of the river, the valley and the mountains beyond. |

The lodge is situated on 16 acres of gardens and farmland. It's a relaxing place to unwind from the stresses of modern life - whether you fish or not! The lodge is first and foremost a fly fishing lodge, however the Nelson/Marlborough region has a myriad of things to do for non fishing guests. |
