Lodging Details
Mataura River Lodge is a beautiful country-style lodge located in the quaint town of Riversdale on New Zealand’s South Island. The Lodge is designed with fly anglers in mind and includes all the comforts of the best home-away-from-home you could imagine.

Food and Beverages
Your host and the private chef prepare a full breakfast each morning with yogurt, cereal, fruit, toast, eggs, and coffee/tea. A substantial, healthy lunch will be prepared each day to take fishing. Back at the lodge after fishing, appetizers and cold beer will be waiting. Finally, each day is finished off with a three-course meal and a glass of wine.
