Ahuriri Motels
9.2 (57 reviews)

Ahuriri Motels ★★★

📍 5 Clay Cliff Lane, State Highway 83, Omarama

"I stayed here on my way from Christchurch to Tekapo and Wanaka! The motel was surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, and although my room faced the highway and I could hear the traffic, it was a very relaxing space and I really liked it! It was difficult to sleep at night because of the animal noises, but I enjoyed that as part of the charm of traveling in New Zealand. I had to give up on going to Mount Cook due to the rain, but instead went to Elephant Rocks. I was also happy that I could get to the filming location of my favorite movie, The Chronicles of Narnia, in about 50 minutes from the motel. I highly recommend it to anyone on a road trip! The staff were also very friendly, which was great! (My hair usually feels dry and stiff from shampoo overseas, but the shampoo here was good! lol)"

Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel
8.0 (120 reviews)

Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel ★★★

📍 12 Omarama Avenue, Omarama

"We decided to check in at the last minute and had no choice but to book this overnight hotel. It was a pity that we couldn't go to the stargazing homestay we booked before due to our own reasons! After arriving, the service was still good. After coordination, we were given two adjacent rooms. After entering, we were greeted by a strong "fragrant" smell unique to India. We quickly opened the balcony and ventilated the room. As for the effect, you can imagine. There is a gas station next to this hotel, and there is a good western restaurant opposite... This is all that can be reached by foot around the hotel. Fortunately, it was just a transit. I stayed for one night and left at five o'clock the next morning. But it should be noted that this hotel does not have a 24-hour front desk. If you check out too early, remember to insert the key in the door."

Sierra Motel and Apartments ★★★★
"SierraMotel is a typical kiwi motel with all the amenities you need. Nicely set back off the road so quiet and undisturbed. Obviously very popular with cyclists, fishermen and walkers, of whom there were plenty."

BigSky Motel ★★★★
"What an absolute gold mine of a hotel …. The little units had all you could want they were warm cosy clean and comfortable. With an absolute bonus of a heated bathroom floor. We stayed a couple of nights and ate at Boots and Jandels and the Wrinkly Rams both delicious. We also went to the hot springs which were delightful. The manager here was also so friendly and helpful I would 100% recommend this accommodation to anyone."

Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel ★★★
"We checked into the hotel for one night. We wanted to wash our clothes and the service laundry area has signs indicating that we should be approaching the receptionist for laundry power and coins. However when we did, we were met with cold indifference and almost agitation at being disturbed which was so uncalled. When called to request for more towels, we were told to come collect it ourselves at the reception (which is fine I guess) but I assumed a hotel would come with better service. The bathroom’s main light was busted. The room light was buzzing like it would blow at any moment. The tv would increase and decrease volume on its own. Overall, despite the area being prime, the service was so subpar I would not recommend this hotel to anyone."
