We recently returned from five amazing days fishing the Owen River Lodge in New Zealand. For the last couple of years, I have been wanting to visit the Lodge to experience their amazing wild brown trout fishery.

Having never fished for Brown's in this way before my fishing partner Antonio and I were looked after by Anton and Hannah, two absolutely exceptional flyfishing guides. Antonio landed the biggest fish of the week at 8 1/2 pounds with my first ever wild brown trout coming in at 5 1/2 pounds.

Felix and his team could not do any more to make us feel welcome and importantly comfortable.

Nothing was too difficult.

The food was amazing.
The staff are amazing.

Most of all the lodge was difficult to leave and I can't wait to see it again.

Felix & his team over delivered to ensure our culinary & fishing experience was 5 star. From the wonderful meals prepared by chefs Ryan & Jo, to the hospitality of Felix, Kylie, Julia & Chloe the lodge experience was near perfect.
The fishing guides are very knowledgeable & the number of rivers we had access to made for a great fishing experience in spite of the tough conditions.

Thank you so much for taking such brilliant care of me. I'm still smiling at the wonderful hospitality from Felix, the lodge, and the guides. It's by far the best solo trip I've ever done.
As for being careful booking??? Seriously???? Sure things change, but this is an incredibly professional business and the cancellation policy is clearly stated. I think the amount of people that visit time and time again from all over the world says how trustworthy and straight up Felix is.
