    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.

    The receptionist was a very lovely irish lady. She gave me options for where to eat dinner, when I said I was going to the Omarama hot tubs she offered me an extra towel as they charge for theirs. Check in and check out the next day were quick and easy. She was the highlight of my stay. Thank you very much. Tiana

    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.
