Here is an introduction to the lodge by the Owner and builder:
Welcome to the Owen River Lodge web site, New Zealand’s newest 5 star 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.

It became obvious to me that the Murchison / Nelson Lakes region 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 lodge that offers a relaxed, highly professional, understated service, in stylish surrounds serving wonderful food to travelling anglers and non anglers alike.

Our guest accommodation cottage suites are full of sunlight, elegant in design with stunning views of the river and the Owen Ranges. In October 2005 the lodge was awarded with 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……

* New Zealand has the best sighted trout fishery in the world
* Fantastic dry fly and nymph fishing
* There are literally hundreds of rivers, streams and lakes
* Our location and facilities are truly spectacular
* The friendly and professional team at Owen River Lodge
* The myriad of non fishing things to do in the Murchison / Nelson Lakes region

Fly fishing for trout is my passion; come on over and let my team show you some fantastic Kiwi/Australian hospitality!

Fly fishing heaven - Kiwi Style!
