In the Heart of the Omarama Township and the MacKenzie country the Heritage Hotel is a perfect travel stopover or quiet country escape. Situated 4 hours from Christchurch and only 2 hrs from Queenstown a stay at the Hertitage Gateway Hotel is the ideal way to break up your journey or just to get away for a while. It's tranquil and secluded location makes it ideal for that hideaway honeymoon escape. Only 80 minutes from Aoraki Mount Cook National Park the Hertitage Gateway Hotel is a great base to explore this beautiful region. The quiet country environment makes the Hertitage Gateway Hotel the perfect venue for the smaller business conference or seminar. For larger requirements or a beautiful Big Country-style wedding why not make use of the spacious facilities at our sister Hotel Countrytime just two minutes drive or a short 10 minute walk down the road. Utilise the benefits both properties have to offer and tailor a custom made package to suit.
The contour of the land and nature of the climate make Omarama a premium world class gliding location with many events being held here both national and international. Take to the skies yourself with flights available from the local Gliding Schools. Hit the mountain slopes with Ohau ski only 45 mins drive away. Go for a hike or grab a bike available for hire from the hotel reception. Visit the local Salmon farm for some fresh salmon or bring your rod to catch your own salmon or trout from one of the local fishing spots. Plenty fair game to be found for the hunting enthusiast too. A visit to the spectacular clay cliffs is a must. But to be honest, with a good night's sleep and warm, friendly country style hospitality on offer, one of the best reasons to stay at the Heritage Hotel Omarama is to do nothing at all!
