Fodor's Expert Review Motueka River Lodge

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

Tranquility, 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.
