Omarama stay

My partner and I stayed at Michelle & Neville's lovely place for 2 nights as part of our across-NZ journey. The place was perfectly clean and incredibly relaxing. It was spacious and had every amenity we needed - even laundry and fresh eggs and tasty snacks for breakfast. We had some good chats with our hosts as well, and they were very kind and helpful with suggestions on what to check out during the next leg of our journey. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Wonderful stay at a lovely well appointed clean and newer cottage -- Michelle pays attention to details in terms of how well it is appointed -- right down to chocolate for the evening. Comfortable bedding and linens - we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place if you need accomodation in the area.

World class comfort

We have had a wonderful stay here. Neville and Michelle were very welcoming, kind and helpful. The apartment is beautiful, very tasteful furnishings and decor, nice and bright and airy. Everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was supplied. Breakfasts were just great. Peaceful setting too. One thing we really liked was that this was the only guest accommodation, so there was no other guests or vehicles to disturb the peace. It is a stones throw from Omarama where you can have a delicious meal at the Wrinkley Ram, and some great clothing and footwear bargains at Craigs. I honestly give this home away from home 5 stars and we will be back.

Very enjoyable stay!

The property was very welcoming, very clean, stylishly laid out and comfortable. It had everything we needed and the breakfast goods were great. Communication beforehand and while there was helpful and check in, smooth. View of mountains was splendid and surrounding gardens and seating areas very pleasant too. Just on the edge of town, easily accessible shop, bars etc and hot tubs just up the road.In a good spot to access other places of interest.

Lovely spacious accommodation and great hosts

We stayed one night here and really enjoyed it. The host is lovely and accomodating, super easy to deal with. The room was modern, very clean, and spacious - a large bed, couch and table, plus perfect sized kitchen, and large bathroom with excellent amenities. The property is stunning with some vines on the hill and a view from the room across trees to the hill. Close to the Omarama hot tubs which is a bonus. Great stop for us on our road trip as it's on a main route from Otago to Canterbury. We would absolutely go back.

A Beautiful Stay!

Michelle was a beautiful and warm welcoming host! It was lovely and cosy inside, very clean with everything you need. Michelle gave us some great local info and where to go for sight-seeing, eating out and where to shop for supplies etc. We highly recommend staying here with Michelle & Neville, we are definitely coming back to New Zealand and we will be definitely rebooking with Michelle! It was like a home-away-from-home :) xx

Change of accommodation

We were unfortunate to be double booked our night. Host Michelle phone contacted us within the hour of booking to inform us, and had organised for us to stay elsewhere in Omarama, Sienna Motels. A hiccup of online booking system, however we were looked after well. Our breakfast was also delivered to the motel so did not miss out on that! Our host, both of them could not be more helpful. We enjoyed our stay.
