Railway Hotel Winton

Railway Hotel Winton

8/10 Good
"The room was comfortable and well set up. The TV had good access to Netflix etc and the bed was comfortable. Having shared toilets and showers was not ideal, but they were clean and worked well. Having the pub downstairs meant meals were easy and of a good standard. Parking was easy and plentiful. The biggest issue was the noise from the road outside. As the windows were not double glazed sleep was difficult. I enjoyed my stay."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Benmore?
The best area to stay in Benmore is near the Benmore Dam, particularly in the small community of Otematata, which serves as the primary visitor hub for the region.

Otematata sits at the southern end of Lake Benmore, offering direct access to the lake and its surroundings. The village itself is small but provides essential services like a general store, a pub, and a cafe. It's the gateway to exploring the Benmore hydro scheme and the surrounding natural beauty.

Couples looking for an active, outdoor getaway will find Otematata an excellent base. From here, you can easily access walking and cycling tracks, go fishing on Lake Benmore, or explore the expansive natural landscape. The Benmore Dam itself is a significant landmark and offers impressive views.

For those seeking a more secluded and tranquil experience, there are also holiday homes and lodges scattered along the shores of Lake Benmore and Lake Aviemore.
When is the best time to go to Benmore?
The best time to go to Benmore is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and most stable.

During this period, you'll experience long daylight hours and average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities. This is great for travellers who want to make the most of the region's natural beauty, such as hiking the Benmore Track or exploring the Benmore Peninsula. The pleasant weather also makes it a great time for boat tours on Lake Benmore or fishing in the surrounding rivers.

Families planning a trip will find the summer months particularly good for enjoying the lakes and national parks. The warmer water temperatures are suitable for swimming and kayaking, and many local attractions operate at full capacity. School holidays in New Zealand also fall within this period, so there are often more family-friendly events and activities available.

For those looking for a slightly quieter experience with still good weather, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are also excellent choices.
