Mudbrick Lodge

 

Nestled in a secluded valley in 5 acres of landscaped garden, Mudbrick Lodge provides two luxury self-contained suites where you can self-cater or enjoy superb meals prepared by a former professional chef.

The nearby Rai and Pelorus Rivers have excellent riverbank access for some of the best brown trout fishing in New Zealand. Mudbrick Lodge can supply you with both fly and spin fishing equipment and an excellent local guide can be arranged.
