My husband and I were on our way to Mt Cook and could not find accommodation in Twizel but found this gem instead, only 20 minutes away. We walked to shops and the local pub for dinner. We had a large studio with bath/shower, spacious rooms. It is great to find a motel like this which provides good quality tea/coffee/hot... More

Large modern studio unit. Fully equipped kitchen including 2 elements. 2 large beds. Omarama is a small place and choice of eating places is, therefore, limited. Only stayed for the one night but owners were very welcoming. Laundry facilities available(chargeable) Wifi is chargeable whereas in most other motels have found this to be without charge.

Our 2nd stay here on our annual motor cycle tour of South Island. Good sized very clean rooms with friendly owners. A good half way stop between Christchurch & Queenstown. Not much to do in Omarama, but the Clay Cliffs are worth a visit, also the outdoor wood fire heated tubs just over the road from motel

We stayed at Omarama overnight as the halfway point on our trip from Christchurch and Queenstown. It's only 10-20 minutes to see beautiful views of Mt Cook, and for us it was a great place to stay. Our two-bedroom unit was clean, tidy with really nice furniture and full kitchen facilities - ideal for families. There is even plunger coffee,... More

Great Motel, with friendly hosts and fishing tackle shop with good advice Rooms all clean and comfy, nice and quiet, no problems. Close to all amenities, and roads to Oamaru or Twizel or Wanaka Highly recommended

We travelled here as a family in July 2008 and stayed for just 1 night on our way back to Christchurch. We enjoyed the 2 bedroom unit we stayed in. It was very clean, well-appointed, comfortable accomodation and we were very warm - which was super important as it was the middle of winter and freezing outside!! There were heaters... More

We are a family of 4 (with two teenage boys). We booked this motel after going through the various options featured in TripAdvisor. The owners of Sierra Motel, Neville & Cathy, are wonderful, relaxed, down-to-earth Kiwis. They made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a two bedroom unit which was surprisingly clean and had all the amenities we needed.... More

We stayed at 10 motels in NZ & this can be said of all of them: they are owner operated (not chains), spotlessly clean, contain refrigerator, microwave, TV, blow dryer, plenty of hot water & the beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the small side. They have absolutely terrible in-room coffee. Expect to pay 30% more for comparable... More

My Husband and I stayed here 1 night with our parents and our 16 year old son as a last minute stop over on our way home to Kaikoura. Excellent quality rooms. Very clean and fresh, fully equiped kitchen, great friendly service. Good value for money, Highly recommend staying here. Omarama is a great stop over point for good fishing... More
