A sparkling clean, brand new place that is very spacious and has all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Omarama is a small town so there is little to do there. We unfortunately missed the sheep shearing at The Wrinkiy Ram Restaurant in Omarama due to the Christmas schedule. I'd book that in advance and go by there in any case. There is a pool near Nicola's house but we went instead on a lovely walk up the hill nearby for a view of the area and the most amazing Pine cone trees (largest cones we've ever seen). Lake Tekapo and the best view of Mt. Cook and beautiful big fields of flowering lupine are about 45 minutes away. We caught the 11 am Christmas Day service at Church of the Good Shepherd in Tekapo (which holds only 200 people). So there are lovely things to see between Omarama and Christchurch.
