    There are two places to eat in the village.

    There are two places to eat in the village. A hotel which caters for tour parties. The bufet looked average. The ala carte menue, which looks interesting is not available every night (barman said). It was available when I was there, but the staff seamed very reluctant to offer it. The steak was limp (looked like it had been cooked in a sous vide, but not flash fried at a high enough temperature) and everything was way, way over salted!!! I was Would not recomend it. The pub was lovely, good food, great staff and welcoming. Would recomend it.

    It was a spur of the moment booking as we had a problem with our car. Great hotel for overnight or several days. Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms if a bit "tired". Arrived late and left early so didn't eat on the premises.

    A pleasant, quiet place to get away from the 'madding crowd'! I love the scenery and climate there and the locals we met were friendly and helpful. I recommend The Pink Glider for a meal as well as the kebab truck on the highway. Both have super staff and good food. Omarama provides a really pleasant holiday get away.

    Not a destination town but an ideal location to break a journey and stay overnight. Food at the local pub was good but feel the drink prices are a bit over the top, captivated market maybe ? Enjoyed the excursion out to the clay cliffs but like a lot of people young and old, could not complete the walk ups the hill. Would be good if the operators provided transport in the form of a four wheeled quad bike. The view from the car park is good however speaking with a returning walker said " If you can make it then its well worth the effort"

    Was disappointed hotel did not inform us restaurant was closed until we arrived. Ended up going to local pub for a meal. The place was humming. A friendly rural pub with great hosts. Seating became an issue while we were there so ended up sharing a table with strangers but was not a bad thing. We’re going to get meal in bar but wait times were one hour so decided to use pubs takeout service. Still took 45minutes but burgers were good. Highly recommend pub and their excellent staff who coped well under difficult circumstances, especially kitchen staff.

    Arrived late in the evening which the moteliers kindly accommodated. Room was exceptional in terms of fit-out; the bed was excellent and comfortable, the bathroom well appointed, clean and shower had good pressure. Another thing I like is variety of pillow types, I get sick of big bulky pillows. They look good on the bed, but I prefer a flatter pillow to sleep on. This room had a variety which provided me with choice. TV had a variety of sky channels and I think Netflix from memory...

    What a beautiful wee motel room we stayed in, only booked in the day before we drove down so I was really pleased we got such a suitable room. awesome privacy, comfortable beds, plenty of room, AMAZING heating system, which was so necessary when we stayed! The wonderful woman at the front desk was so kind and such a happy person to come across after hours of driving! We will definitely be booking here again if we come back down!

    Room great - own wee bungalow. Warm with heater. Comfortable bed and bedding. Kitchen had everything supplied including tea and coffee. Basic but adequate. Showers/bathroom separate - clean, basic. Washing machine provided. Location on farmland 19km south of Omarama (hot tubs and sauna, and dining). If I was on a bike tour, I would definitely recommend staying here.

    Omarama is such an underrated place to stay. I really like the set up of the motel and the heritage fo the place was very interesting. Great front desk staff, very friendly and helpful. The unit itself was perfect for a nights stay, bathroom was clean and bedding was comfortable. Was great that there was a separate bedroom for extra privacy between guests.

    We chose this motel, as we required just something on a way. Price is great. And room was almost new. Looks like it was renewed in a year or 2. Super place. 1h drive from Mt.Cook but much cheaper.

    I enjoyed how different it was to stay at a sheep station. The location was beautiful and very close to Mt Aoraki. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the kitchen and toilets/showers.
