Location, just where we needed to be for the next sight on our road trip.
Just 3 minutes’ drive from Lake Benmore, Ahuriri Motels features a barbecue area with outdoor seating and lovely mountain views. A flat-screen TV and a microwave are standard in all rooms.

Often overlooked as a passing point to more exotic destination, this little stop over town has a few worthy attractions; the Clay Cliffs, the Ahuriri River, the Hot tub and the Glider rides etc.
It is also near Twizel and Lake Ohau too.

Great little settlement - the Clay Cliffs were spectacular and a definite must-see. The Hot Tubs were so lovely afterwards - very private and in a peaceful outdoor setting. Absolutely loved them. Had a meal at the local pub which was also very good.

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.

The location was awesome, around 10 minutes from Omarama. The room was cozy with a soft queen sized bed. There was a long drop to the right of our room as well as normal toilets and bathrooms to the left which had heating so it was warm even on a frosty morning. Everything you need and expect from a backpackers could be found in the kitchen and dining area, overall we had a great experience here!
We stayed at Sierra Motel as a stopover between Dunedin and Christchurch. The location is beautiful, especially the drive along SH8 past Lake Pukaki with wonderful views of Mount Aoraki. Our room was spacious, comfortable, with a modern kitchenette, very comfortable bed and everything was spotlessly clean.
