Stonefly Lodge is situated on 56 hectares of private forest on the banks of the Motueka River, only 50 minutes' drive from Nelson. This luxury lodge is ideally located between three spectacular national parks — Abel Tasman, Nelson Lakes and Kahurangi — making it an ideal base to explore the region.
Activities from the lodge include fly-fishing, sea kayaking, guided and unguided hiking tours, wine tasting, white-water rafting, and horse riding.
There are just four guest rooms, all with spectacular views from private balconies overlooking the Motueka River and beyond to the Mount Arthur Range in Kahurangi National Park. Each day a fully cooked breakfast, pre-dinner canapés and a three course dinner are included.
