OWEN RIVER LODGE
SOUTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND

Welcome to the Owen River Lodge web site, New Zealand's only 5 star rated specialist fly fishing lodge. My name is Felix Borenstein; I’m the owner and manager of the Owen River Lodge. I first started fly fishing in Australia, (my home country) in 1995. Overnight my life changed! - I became absolutely addicted. Before I knew it, I’d visited the South Island of New Zealand some 19 times.

After fishing around a lot of New Zealand, it became obvious to me that the Murchison / Nelson Lakes region of the South Island has the best brown trout fishery in the world.

Never mind visiting, I wanted to develop a contemporary styled fly fishing lodge there.

It was my desire to create a fishing lodge that delivers a relaxed, understated and highly professional level of service in stylish surrounds, serving wonderful food to travelling anglers and non anglers alike.

Our elegantly designed guest accommodation cottage suites are full of sunlight, and offer stunning views of the river and the Owen Ranges. In October 2005 the lodge was awarded a Qualmark rating of 5 stars -"Exceptional - among the best available in New Zealand". Qualmark is New Zealand tourism's official quality rating system for accommodation providers.

I’d like you to think of our lodge as your private retreat. Our goal is to assist you to have the best holiday possible.

Several things make that task easier …
  • The South Island of New Zealand has the best sighted trout fishery in the world
  • The highly experienced friendly guiding team at Owen River Lodge
  • Fantastic dry fly and nymph fishing
  • The huge choice and variety of rivers, streams and lakes that our guests can fish
  • Our location and facilities are truly spectacular
  • The friendly and professional lodge team at Owen River Lodge
  • The myriad of non fishing things to do in the Murchison / Nelson Lakes region
