ABOUT US

Nestled in the charming settlement of Owen River along State Highway 6, just 18 kilometers northeast of Murchison and 115 kilometers southwest of Nelson, lies the enchanting Owen River Tavern & Motels.

Surrounded by a diverse landscape of majestic mountains, verdant bushland, and serene waterways, this hidden gem offers a tranquil retreat like no other.

The Owen River, originating from the towering slopes of Mount Owen at 1,875 meters, meanders its way through the picturesque terrain for 20 kilometers before converging with the magnificent Buller River, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle just below the Tavern. To the southeast, the imposing Mount Murchison at 1,370 meters stands as a sentinel overlooking the Owen River Tavern and Motel.
