Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel, hotel in Omarama

The Heritage Gateway Hotel is situated in Omarama, at the crossroads of MacKenzie Basin, Lindis Pass and Waitaki Valley. It offers panoramic views and excellent hiking and biking opportunities.

Upon arrival I was originally given a room on the 1st floor that smelt a bit funny and was too small to install the portable cot I brought for our baby; but reception was very helpful and moved us to a much larger room on the ground floor that was very good: spacious, clean, etc. The restaurant served good food.

Ahuriri Motels, hotel in Omarama

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.

Room was really well presented, first task at hand is to get that heater cranking. A bit of a hike to the hot pools. But one can not complain as the location is superb for night time gazing into the abyss.

    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.

    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!

    We loved our stay here! We got stuck in Omarama due to snow, and we are very glad we did! A very clean, comfortable and warm motel, which was perfect for our family of 4. The gentleman on reception was very welcoming, and let us know which restaurants and shops were open that night, making sure we got in before closing time. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great spot across the road from Omaarama hot tubs and a short stroll to Boots and Jandals pub for dinner. Rooms spacious and spotlessly clean. Bed very comfortable and much better than many brand name hotels. Recommended if you’re staying in Omarama

    Room was clean and fairly sized. Whilst the town is remote there is a small supermarket and pub down the road. Check in and out was easy, owner was friendly. Good for a nights stay whilst visiting Mount Cook region.

    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.
