Ahuriri Motels - Omarama

The location was excellent, near Hot Tubs which was great for relaxation, the room was clean and cozy, and the staff was attentive, plus the food offered plenty of delicious choices.

Worth its 3 stars. This hotel was perfect place for exploring Omarama, loved it. Had private bathroom with all essentials. Only 10 min walk to downtown.

Everything was superb and greatly enjoyed my stay there. The staff were attentive lot of the time. The hotel's location was handy, so close to the main sights of New Zealand, Clay Cliff and Hot Tubs and everything-shampoo, even dish washing detergent. It also was in a very touristy area.

The room was charming, well-stocked, and quickly heated, with all the essentials we needed, and the location was fantastic, right next to the pub.

Friendly welcome. Compact comfortable studio with toaster and kettle, adequate for our needs.

Perfect stop-over to break the journey between Queenstown and Christchurch, with very helpful and friendly staff.

No particular dislikes - just good accommodation as a reasonable price!

This place is consistently clean, boasts amazing views, and has an excellent location.

All very easy, everything you need for the trip. The rooms are compact here with the double bed and all the facilities plus fast heating.

Value for money and frienly management Very clean and comfortable

The hotel offers great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail.

Everything was satisfactory or exceeded expectations.

Excellent service as usual definitley my favourite motel to stay at!

The people were lovely and while an older style motel, it had everything you needed.

The shower, ran off instant hot water and was very poor flow to keep it warm enough

The value for money at this hotel is exceptional. With all the facilities of a modern unit, including a well-equipped kitchen with coffee and tea, it offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail, such as the bedside table in the bedroom with the double bed, shows that the hotel cares about its guests' comfort.

No improvements needed, everything was great.

The motelier explain things really well and met us at the unit then showed us around it. He had little notices up, encouraging the clients to recycle. He gave us a choice in what kind of milk we could have. He had Triton heating systems. He had turned on the heating well in advance of our arrival so the rooms were really cosy. The bedding was generous.

When I had a shower, the water failed to all flow down the plug hole. Some tracked over to the toilet so when I used that later, I got wet feet. I left the water so he would realize there was a problem. I think the floor must be slightly tilted down towards the toilet. The mattress was a normal mattress but at home we have a memory foam mattress. So every time my partner moved, the bed rocked and woke me up except when I managed to dream there was an earthquake happening (I'm from Chch). But it's only because I'm used to our mattress. However, our mattress is very expensive and it's unrealistic to have a mattress of our quality in a motel. But you did ask... The pillow was a little firm but that's an individual taste and you can't please everyone. It was probably a better than average pillow. But I'm really fussy! I've have a feather pillow. Just being honest and I wouldn't moan about these things to anyone else except you did ask. But I didn't have a good night's sleep with the rocking plus my partner left the door open so we got too hot which made him shift even more in his sleep...moan, moan.

Top value for money,

Omarama as a town lacks personality, it is just a tourist stop. Hence this is no reflection on the motel whatsoever.
