Maraqeta Lodge and Fishing Tours

Located 20 minutes from Blenheim, on the banks of the Wairau River, Maraqeta offers accommodation for up to six people. The master suite has a four poster bed and a well appointed en-suite bathroom.

The Courtyard room has a Queen bed with separate bathroom and toilet, and the Blue room has twin single beds with separate bathroom and toilet. All rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

Guided fishing for trout and salmon is tailored to suit guests ability levels and requirements. Tours can be from as little as half a day to a week or ten days, and can be based at the lodge or encompass overnight stays in remote places if desired.

Fishing gear can be supplied but it is best if guests bring appropriate footwear such as tramping boots.Fishing guests may choose to dine out at one of the many excellent local restaurants, but are equally welcome to dine in and we are happy to cook or hot smoke their catch.

B&B guests are also welcome at Maraqeta and will enjoy a breakfast of their choosing. The peace of the country is restorative, but there are many attractions and places of interest for the more active to visit.
