Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge lies on the banks of the Makarora River in the heart of the Southern Alps, bordering the magnificent Mt. Aspiring National Park. The lodge features first class New Zealand cuisine by Cordon Bleu chef, Robyn Fraser, and professional chef, Juliet Fraser.

Cedar Lodge, which is the only lodge in New Zealand to own its own helicopters, accommodates eight anglers in four attractively appointed, twin or kingsize bedrooms with private bath, hair dryer, and coffee maker.

The lodge is also known for its special stream-side lunches to pamper you in the wilderness.

Cedar Lodge offers some of the best dry fly fishing in New Zealand. Each day you will fly out by helicopter to one of the countless stretches of remote streams that hold trophy brown and rainbow trout. Cedar Lodge holds a number of exclusive permits to land in secluded parks where you will find crystal clear streams - many of which meander through wide, level valleys which make for easier walking.

Dick Fraser's lively and energetic personality will help make your stay at the world famous Cedar Lodge truly memorable.

Cedar Lodge is simply "THE BEST" New Zealand has to offer the fly fisherman.

Cedar Lodge is only open for about 14 weeks each season and space becomes very difficult to obtain. Don't delay -- call right away -- we suggest reserving a year in advance.
