Stonefly Lodge is situated on 150 acres of private forest only 50 minutes drive from New Zealand's South Island city of Nelson, close to many fly fishing rivers in Nelson Lakes National Park, Motueka and Murchison. We provide private luxury lodge accommodation located above the Motueka River, expert guided fly fishing from the top Nelson fly fishing guides and an outstanding experience you will remember for ever. The location for the Lodge was chosen not only because of the unique river setting but because of its central position in relation to the main attractions of the wider region which are the three major National Parks, and 23 boutique wineries in the Nelson region, all privately owned, ranging from the Moutere Hills to the Waimea Plains, and all within one hour drive from the Lodge.

The total complex is powered by alternative energy sources built on site to reduce the projects environmental footprint.

The Lodge has been designed for entertainment and is an ideal "sole use" facility for private functions or exclusive events.
