Tourist Guide

A hot tub by a lake with mountains in the background.
A spa facility with a unique bicycle sculpture in the foreground.
A wooden cabin with a red door, a hot tub, and steps leading up to it, set against a mountainous backdrop.
A calm lake with ducks, surrounded by mountains and trees.
A river with a bridge, surrounded by lush greenery and purple flowers.

Combine sky-high thrills with hot tubs and chill in Omarama, a secluded township surrounded by lakes and mountains.

Make like the local birdlife and soar your way over Omarama's breathtaking mountain ranges and deep blue lakes on a guided glider flight. Back on solid ground check out the twisted pinnacles of the Clay Cliffs or hit the hiking trails of Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo. Tuckered out? The Omarama HOT Tubs have got you sorted. Soak in the outdoor barrel-baths and enjoy stunning scenery during the day and star-filled skies at night.
