What a gem.

Got that old style country-NZ feel to it. It sits in the council sportsground reserve, uses the same facilities. Well equipped kitchen, super clean, great showers. Chances are there won't be anyone at reception, you call the number on a sign taped to the door and a friendly lady who must live close by pops over and attends. Must be the best value cabins in NZ - due to a pricing anomaly, its $33 per person, regardless of how many of you there are. 2 of us, we had one each, it was about -4 that night and it would have been miserable in tents. Cabins are small and basic but new and clean. There must have been 3 or 4 people in Omakau who all volunteered the information that if we wanted a meal at the pub, we had to book. It was pretty busy - lot of rail trail riders there I guess. Great meal. Overall one of those experiences that just buoys you along, on a road trip.
