GUIDING FEE

Our daily guiding fee for the 2025/26 is NZ$980.00. This rate is inclusive of New Zealand’s 15% Goods and Services Tax and is valid for one or two anglers.The rate includes transport, any tackle required, a delicious riverside lunch and flies but does not include your fishing licence. We accept payment via direct bank deposit.You can conveniently arrange and pay for your licence online before you travel at Fish and Game New Zealand.

DEPOSIT AND CANCELLATION POLICY

Kehu Guiding is a small business and cancellations affect us greatly. We strongly advise anglers to take out travel insurance to protect against unexpected changes to their travel plans (such as sickness, injury, loss or delay).

A 50% non refundable deposit is required at time of booking, with the outstanding amount payable 60 days before trip date.

Should you need to cancel your trip, we will assist you in your claim by providing any necessary documents requested by your insurance company.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

We are situated at the northern end of New Zealand’s South Island – 90km south of Nelson in the Tasman region. Our property borders the Nelson Lakes National Park. For further information about New Zealand visit New Zealand Tourism.

Anglers typically fly in to Nelson airport. We can arrange airport transfers for you, either to St Arnaud (NZ$250.00 one way) or to Murchison (NZ$350.00 one way). Alternatively we are happy to assist you with rental car arrangements from Nelson airport.

For those who choose to take a flyfishing trip to another location in the South Island with their guide, all on road expenses (accommodation, food and some diesel costs) need to be paid by the angler. These costs will of course depend on the distance travelled, accommodation options etc.

ACCOMMODATION

We are happy to help you arrange accommodation to suit your preference and budget – from luxury lodge to backpacker accommodation. There are several local options – so let us know what you have in mind and we can either direct you to various web sites or make these arrangements on your behalf.
