Motueka River Lodge

$$$$ | Motueka Valley Hwy. (State Hwy. 61), Motueka, 7196, New Zealand

Tranquillity, marvelous mountain views, and a superb standard of comfort are the hallmarks of this rustic lodge on 35 acres overlooking the Motueka River. Fish is a key focus here, especially dry fly-fishing for brown trout in the wild rivers. Booking ahead is essential during the October-to-April fishing season, and some dates require minimum a two-nights booking.

  • Fishing rivers all around
  • Kiwi hosts who know and understand this part of the world

  • Out in the countryside
