Come and stay in a Place of Light

Sleep within the homestead garden, or beside a clear High Country stream. Both look out on the same vast country.
Stay as a guest of the family in the classic Omarama homestead, with home-cooked dinners shared around the table and the whole station beyond your window.
A restored 1863 stone hut on the banks of the Omarama Stream, nestled at the foot of the hills. Private and quiet — with fly-fishing the moment you step outside the door.
Omarama Station has been farmed by the Subtil family for three generations. Across 12,000 hectares of tussock, river flat and mountain, it remains a genuine working property — merino sheep and beef cattle, mustered the way this country has always asked for.
To stay here is to step briefly into that life: the dogs, the horses, the woolshed, and the enormous quiet of the Mackenzie Basin at dusk.
Omarama is world-renowned for gliding, ringed by rivers full of trout, and minutes from some of the South Island's most striking landscapes.
Omarama sits at the foot of the Southern Alps, an easy and beautiful drive from the resort towns and the coast — an ideal first or last night of a South Island journey.
