The greatest part about renting a car is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by checking out all there is to do in Omarama. It’s just 19 miles away. Clay Cliffs ought to be high up on your list here. Ladybird Hill Vineyard and Clay Cliffs Scenic Reserve are interesting attractions too. The locals will also probably point you toward Mount Cook, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Hooker Valley Track. (But we’re also huge fans of Tasman Glacier and Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre.)
