Mossburn is a middle of nowhere town in the hub of everything
and the centre of everywhere.
On its winding, rambling, up and down, meandering roads, miles don’t count for much. And the fishing is sublime.

We are central for exploring the Southland to Otago regions which includes within easy range: Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, Te Anau, Manapouri, Fiordland, Milford Sound, Mavora Lakes, Invercargill, Bluff, the Southern Heritage Trail, Gore, The Catlins, the Southern Scenic Route, Riverton, Colac Bay and the South Coast.

For anglers we find ourselves with the Oreti River on our doorstep, while the Mataura, the Aparima, and The Hamilton Burn, are all within easy distance. Slightly further afield are the Whitestone, the Mararoa, the Von, the Greenstone and countless other lakes and rivers to stretch the angler’s technique whether it be dry fly, nymph, lure, spinner, trolling, or sea fishing.
For the hunter the local game species are Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Wapiti, Chamois, Tahr, wild boar as well as smaller game such as hare, rabbits, possum and waterfowl.
A variety of local guides are available for hunting, shooting and fishing.
