This was the perfect place to stay after several days hiking around the South Island of NZ. The washing machine and dryer were an added bonus as I was able to do a load of laundry after being on the road for a week.

The Sierra Motel was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfy, and dishes were provided to use in the small kitchenette in our room. The staff was very friendly and they made the check in process sooo smooth. The room felt updated, the AC worked great, and you can tell the property is well taken care of. Highly recommend staying at the Sierra Motel!!

Very nice little motel, doesn’t look like anything special from the outside but everything is new and clean inside! Kitchen/fridge were great; nice clean updated bathroom and comfortable bed. However … the wifi was nonexistent in our place. Not sure if it was just because we were in room 15 which was tucked away in a corner. As soon as we went outside towards the parking area we got wifi. So if you are going to need wifi during your stay definitely don’t end up in #15!

Perfect stay
I was bit hesitant booking this hotel as it's 50 kms away from Lake Pukiki and Lake Tekapo/Mt. Cook were further away. However, it turned out to be great stay. The motel is maintained very well. All the amenities were good and very clean. The owners are very hardworking and make sure that the guests are comfortable. Location of the motel is great too. Benmore is underrated and not in the list of must-see-places in NZ. A change of plan due to weather gave us an opportunity to visit and it turned out to be highlight of our trip. I wish we had more time at Sierra and Omarama.
