Big Sky Motels
Point of difference
A popular destination for cyclists. A luxurious room to rest in after a day on the Alps 2 Ocean, or many other trails in the area.
We provide a secure area to store your bicycle.
Being our family's favourite holiday destination, we moved to Omarama in 2009. We designed and built our new home, to which we included separate luxury B and B units which Kay operates. We meet wonderful people from all over the world and enjoy the opportunity to share our hospitality and local knowledge of what the Omarama area has to offer - the BigSky, breath taking scenery - our piece of paradise.
The Motel units are at a separate address, 7 luxurious state of the art motel units with off street parking.Very quiet street with no highway noise. A perfect place to unwind and relax after a long days' travel.
