Ahuriri Motels

Clean, good shower, walking distance to restaurants and cafes.

Staff very welcoming. Could do with a hook for clothes,and bench in the bathroom

Room was very clean and everything in good order. Could park on the grass outside our room which was handy. Friendly team looking after us. A nice touch that they turned a heater on prior to us arriving and there was another heater if we needed it.

Quiet, small motel with very nice host

It was quiet and easy to book in. The motel suited our needs.

Easy place to stay , lovely and spacious , relaxed and casual

Nice place to stay for a night, very clean and tidy.

Was an excellent stay. Motel units were really clean, super comfy beds and bathroom linen. It was a freezing cold night and the rooms were very warm and well insulated. Kitchen well stocked with everything you could need for self catering. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Quite a nice place and view for one night stay

The unit is basic, but well equipped with heaters, and good cooking equipment. Well insulated and warm. Omarama is stunning in winter

Lovely helpful host. Great well appointed unit, spacious and everything we needed. The heaters kept us cosy after we woke to -1 degree in the morning. Thank you for the great user friendly laundry facilities. We felt the hot water system could have been better. The shower was weak and hard to get really hot and we boiled the kettle to wash the dishes.

Recently stayed there and absolutely loved it … great helpful staff ,super clean rooms and fantastic central position close to supermarket, pub , cafe , servo etc . Would definitely go back 👍

Manager very accomodating with earlier checkin ✅

Clean, well-appointed motel conveniently situated near the centre of town. Owner is friendly too.

Stopped for one night and the motel was exactly what we needed. Clean, peaceful location and onsite free parking right in front of the room which was convenient. Funny smell in the room coming from the cupboards in the kitchenette, couldn't put our finger on it as they weren't dirty (likely just old/musty).

Property was clean but beds were not comfortable and the rooms were very small and outdated. For a short stay while travelling through it was fine.

This property was clean, but very dated. The cabinet in the bathroom looked like it had water damage. The bathroom only had a shaver outlet, but there was a full size mirror in the main room- problem was I couldn't get ready in the morning until my husband woke up! The bed was hard and I had a terrible time sleeping. We rented a basic studio, so maybe the other rooms were better, but I would not stay here again. Like all other motels in NZ, the windows didn't have screens, and I was killing moths and sand flys for quite a while once it got dark, even though we closed the windows immediately upon arrival.

good location. Old buildings. toilet floor looks and feels like it can succumb any minute

Good location, nice room. Staff were kind and helpful.

Very comfortable stay, clean and neat room with plenty of space. Only negative was there was confusion over how late check-in was open. I received an email that said 8.30pm but when I called to say I'd arrive at 8.25pm they said they close at 8.00pm and made it sound like they were doing me a favour by staying open.

Bedroom to small for size of bed.

I arrived after the office had closed. A phone call prior made the arrangements very easy. This was an excellent property and I would come here again in a moment!

room was very spacious and clean.

Clean comfy small unit

Room was clean and tidy although outside of building was a bit tired.

Quiet place in the middle of nowhere. Great stop if you wanted outdoor activities away from the crowds. Jennifer was very nice and helpful. My wife left her watch and they had it wrapped and ready when we returned.

I was pleasantly surprised by how cute and quaint the Ahuriri Motels in Omarama were. Checking in late at night was easy since we sent an email beforehand letting them know we would be arriving late. The staff provided clear instructions for how to find our unit. The stay was comfortable, quiet, and spacious. The bathroom was nice, and although the motel wasn't super luxurious, it was well-kept and clean. We really enjoyed our one-night stay during our road trip and appreciated the relaxing break it provided. Wish we could have stayed longer!

For £65 this was a vry decent place to stay. We had a very friendly welcome at reception and the unit was clean, and adequate although a bit small. The location was quiet - but close to the small town. The unit had a comfortable bed, a kettle, fridge, microwave, good free wi-fi and a flat screen TV. There was a small glass table to eat at or work at. It was absolutely fine for a one night stopover. We visited the 'clay cliffs' early one summer evening - quite remarkable and worth seeing. Take $5 in cash for entry!

Ex workers accommodation so good for either a short or longer stay. Would happily stay again.

The Staff were very friendly, welcoming and accomodating. I am aware that this is a rural setting. However, a little warning about insects entering bathrooms etc would have been very welcome and would have taken precautions. Being a non air-conditioned motel the windows have to remain open especially on a hot day such as the day we were there. Otherwise all was good.

Very clean & comfortable & friendly staff in a convenient location

Nice motels clean and tidy. Staff helpful would stay again.

Lovely property. Very quiet. Had all the amenities we needed.

We spent one lovely night here and it was perfect! We were able to check in a little early which allowed us to spend the day sightseeing without rushing. The staff was kind and helpful and our one bedroom was clean, well stocked, and exactly right for our family of 3.

Best motel we've stayed in except for the hot water supply. There are signs about it but that is no excuse. The shower is pathetic.

Nice unit with plenty of space for 2 people. Weird hot water system, could work out the bathroom and the shower was fine but couldnt work it out in the kitchen.

I was very unhappy with the service as I choose the studio unit which mentioned about kitchenette but did have stove for cooking no fans and if we try keeping the windows open all kind of insects were invited.Also as I had requested for a late check the office was shut so cldnt even ask for bathing towels which generally are been put in the rooms but we're not put and not very clean also

This property was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for cooking and eating in the kitchenette. It was also peaceful despite being pretty fully booked. The staff were friendly.

Wonderful 3 bedroom self contained unit with everything you need to stay for a couple of days. Warm bedding with electric blankets for the main bedroom. Laundry facilities also available on site. Conveniently located to Twizel if you want to do any stargazing tours (about 20 mins one way).

Pretty outdated for the price. Poor water pressure.

Good value and perfect if you’re just needing somewhere to sleep and shower, very clean and comfy with quiet spacious rooms.

Very beautiful surrounding

Very well maintained properly. Quiet location and picturesque. Very clean and tidy and one of the best motel we stayed on our trip . It a small town but worth the stay. I would definitely recommend others to stay here if you are going towards to Queenstown or to see mount cook

Clean, at very good location abd good view from the unit

Microwave was difficult to use. Bedroom with the double bed was tiny with only room for one, small side table.

Enjoyable stay

We loved it! Friendly people & peaceful place

Tidy, neat and clean. Value for money.

There is not a lot to do in the evenings in Omarama!

Excellent in all respects. Highly recommend.

Only stayed a night but beautiful setting wishes I could have stayed longer

Understanding and generous host.

All good.

Absolutely lovely. Everything you need, we were very impressed. Comfy warm beds, nice crisp sheets. Would highly recommend.

Great stop over

Easy access

Great spot, great price, easy check in

A nice room as a base for day trip driving up to Mt Cook.

Loved our stay!!

I liked that it was very clean and had lots of space. There was also free wifi and it was comfy and cosy.

Excellent spot to stay, well looked after and super comfortable

So clean, so good, nice beds, nice kitchen Only negative was shower pressure and the taps only had cold water Would also have liked bedside lamps

Although we were only staying one night, we were very dissatisfied with the lack of hot water in the kitchen and the bathroom sink. We could not get more than a seconds worth of lukewarm water before it went stone cold. The shower was a mystery. There were no instructions on how it operated and after a lot of trial and error we sort of got a barely adequate shower. The water pressure was terrible. Also, the unit was freezing when we arrived and if you turn on the heaters and then try to cook a meal, the circuit breaker trips. The only good thing was the bed.

Great for relaxing on the go from Queenstown to Christchurch. Overall clean and cosy in the winter.

Property tired and rooms old However the unit was clean and warm Staff greeting was lovely

Great value, staff was amazing, definitely will stay in future, highly recommended

The view from the room was spectacular. The rooms were quite large with a great price at this time of the year with plus location.

Warm and quiet. Perfect for what I needed.

I loved staying here. Felt very comfortable

Very small but everything else was great.

Comfortable for a one night stopover.

Older style of accommodation made for Dam workers. While we enjoyed our stay the room we had for sleeping you could hardly get around the bed. The biggest bed seemed to be in the smallest room. Apart from that location to cycling tracks was great.

Check-in was easy, once we figured out where reception was. Our room so as clean & tidy, shower had good pressure and the bed was very comfortable.

We appreciated the quiet rural environment.

Large place, bedroom small but big studio with kitchenette. A great deal, comfortable and quiet.

Bedding configuration was set up wrong and not changed

Uncomfortable bed

Clean, small, worth the lower price

Very clean & nicely furnished room, had a great stay and found the staff extremely friendly and helpful Would absolutely stay again

Nice comfortable unit. Very clean and tidy. Great to be able to use other toilets and shower at the complex We had 5 in the unit

Nice cite tidy well thoughtout space wise.

Great spot for an overnight stay when travelling the highway to and from Christchurch. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchenette well appointed so we could put a meal together and a laundry with washing machine and dryer very handy. A friendly welcome and farewell from property managers.

the staff were very friendly, room a bit small.

Very clean and a handy spot for travellers

First time to stay at this motel and Omarama, great night, motel was perfect for the night, warm and comfortable.

Great location. An easy walk to the beach, restaurants and groceries.

Clean, had all amenities, comfortable furniture. Two separate bedroom, quite area

Nice and cosy with plenty of space

Clean and well serviced. Studio unit was basic but very comfortable. Where else can you step outside and see the night sky in all its clarity and brilliance?

This is budget accommodation, only thing the room didn’t have is air conditioning. The reception was very good and the general cleanliness was very good. We stopped here as a break in driving, only thing I’d say is it’s a small town, most food places close early so the pub is the main option if buying meals. The room is well set up if you are going to prepare something yourself.

Loved our stay here great apartment, amenities older style however very clean, good kitchen setup, easy walk to town.

.

Spotlessly clean Recently refurbished. Very comfortable

Nice little town to stay o/n in reach of Mt Cook for a day trip.

Had a great stopover stay

Great staff. slightly older facilities in good shape

Great unit,

Comfortable and friendly stop in a useful location when we were travelling up through the centre of South Island. Quiet location. Fresh milk provided in a bottle which made a very nice change.

Lovely reception staff, clean rooms with all facilities in place, and clear instructions on check in and check out. A great town to stay after a long day driving, although keep an eye on last order. Would highly recommend!
