"The property was a huge disappointment. No staff around once checked in. Poor parking for cars. No food facilities on site. The room was spacious with an excellent bathroom. No kitchen facilities at all. A serious amount of work needs to go in to make this complex suitable for guests"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Otautau?
The best area to stay in Otautau is right in the heart of the town, particularly around Main Street.

This central area is the hub of activity, offering easy access to the town's key amenities. Main Street runs through the middle of Otautau, where you'll find the local shops, cafes, and the Otautau Hotel. The town is small and walkable, making it convenient to explore on foot.

For families, staying centrally is ideal as it puts you within a short stroll of the Otautau Playground and the local sports grounds, which are great for children to burn off some energy. It also means you're close to the local grocery store for any essentials.

Couples looking for a quiet retreat will appreciate the convenience of being able to walk to dinner at the Otautau Hotel or enjoy a coffee at a local cafe without needing to drive.
When is the best time to go to Otautau?
The best time to go to Otautau is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is generally warm and suitable for outdoor activities.

During this period, Otautau experiences its highest average temperatures, often ranging from 18°C to 23°C, with longer daylight hours. This makes it ideal for exploring the local countryside, enjoying walks along the nearby Aparima River, or visiting attractions like the Otautau Museum. It's also a great time for couples who enjoy scenic drives through the Southland region, as the roads are typically dry and the landscapes are at their most vibrant.

For those interested in fishing or golfing, the summer months offer the most comfortable conditions. The local golf course is well-maintained, and the rivers are popular for trout fishing. Families will find this time particularly good for outdoor excursions, perhaps visiting nearby parks or enjoying picnics, as the mild weather allows for extended periods of outdoor play.

While summer is generally preferred, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) can also be pleasant, offering cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, which might appeal to those seeking a more tranquil experience.
