Tucked beneath the imposing peaks of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Eleven Cedar Lodge is a fly fishing lodge like none other, offering immaculately appointed accommodations well off the beaten path.
The angling program’s 30+ year reputation precedes it—and there’s no question why. With a helicopter operation that accesses some of the most remote stretches in Mount Aspiring National Park, a full slate of guided activities for every adventurer in the group, and a natural riverside lodge that greets guests with exceptional cuisine at the start and end of each day, the experience here is all-time.
The water here in the trophy trout capital of the world is gin-clear and the experience is all yours to personalize. The guides at Cedar Lodge are local, expert anglers who have been guiding on the South Island of New Zealand and at Cedar Lodge for many years. Their expertise and command of this particular style of fly fishing is world-class. The ultimate in off-grid lodging, Cedar Lodge is the only inclusive heli-angling operation in New Zealand, and all but guarantees you’ll land your fill of the South Island’s legendary wild trout.
The mighty Makarora River borders the Cedar Lodge property, immediately setting the scene for guests to enjoy the best of the South Island. Four guest rooms, a lounge, and a dining area build on the beauty of the environment, while farm-to-table cuisine reflects New Zealand’s bountiful ingredients. A warm sense of Kiwi hospitality underpins the atmosphere at Cedar Lodge, making your time at the lodge as special as your time angling and adventuring throughout its serene surroundings.
