A quite new motel with delicate facilities. You can tell that motel uses good quality in intetior design, for example, the faucets and shower head are very nice and comfortable - please do keep the good quality. Reception is super nice and will provide you some good advices for places to visit. Omarama is on a very important location when travelling between Queenstown and Christchurch and this place is definitely a good choice for a nice stay.
