Owen River Lodge

One of the classiest of several fully inclusive luxury fly-fishing lodges in this region has six beautifully appointed cottages overlooking the Owen River Valley. Adjacent to Kahurangi National Park, lodge gives you access to 25 fishing rivers within a 90-minute drive, plus many more by helicopter. Back at the lodge you can relax in the cozy lounge, or wander the landscaped grounds, including the massive vegetable garden that supplies much of what arrives on your table for dinner.

Pros

  • Large garden
  • Fully equipped tackle room and fly-making table
  • Beautiful views

Cons

  • The last mile or two to the lodge is not paved but is easy enough to drive
  • Quite remote
  • If you're not into fishing, you might feel out of it
