Two nights half board at Monteka River Lodge had been arranged by Trailfinders as part of our three-week tour of NZ’s South Island. Everything is very, very impressive - from the setting to the initial welcome from front of house lead Chloe, to the pre-dinner conversation with the owners Roz and Graham, to the food prepared by chef Alastair. Although everything seems brand new, the choreography and anticipatory nature of how we were looked after was that of a well-established team working very well together. It is a relatively small establishment with the capacity for what seems to be eight to ten guests - so it feels more like a house/home than a hotel. Having checked for dislikes or allergies, the dinner was a no-options menu of five-star quality based around locally sourced produce, supported by a small but good-quality wine list. The same five-star quality was achieved at breakfast the following day. An introduction to fly fishing was kindly organised as an extra activity, with the local expert being a very pleasant and patient teacher to a first-timer. All in all, we came away from the River Lodge refreshed and invigorated, with memories to hold and a point of reference of excellence. If we were to ever be back in NZ, we would be back at Monteka River Lodge for sure.

We were lucky and arrived as part of a trip to New Zealand to MOTUEKA RIVER LODGE, located on the South Island, which is also the residence of Rose and Graham and they even admire it. It is a charming, breathtaking house immersed in a garden with beautiful and well-kept vegetation. The place can accommodate up to 12 people with another adjacent building. The building itself and the rooms are completely new, tastefully decorated like the entire house, and offer the guest a luxurious stay with everything needed, including treats that Rose takes care to provide. The food at the place is prepared by a chef. We had two dinners and two breakfasts that were at the level of a Michelin restaurant, and the chef's delicate hand was evident in every meal. The hospitality was perfect and above all, Rose and Graham were the ones who finally created the special atmosphere of the place and made the experience so special. It is clear that if we return to the South Island again, we will return to this wonderful place. We were privileged to be, to be hosted by and to get to know the charming Rose and Graham. Yael and Ran, Israel.

My wife and I stayed here on a three week tour of New Zealand. The location not far from Nelson is very accessible to lots of activities on the south Island. the setting is lovely, the rooms very well appointed, and most notable, the managers, Greg and Nicola, are extremely warm and gracious. And, if you're in to fly fishing, there is an abundance of opportunity; I had a fabulous day with a guide arranged by the lodge. All in all, highly, recommended.
