Clay Cliffs Omarama
A must-do whilst staying in Omarama, the Clay Cliffs are a natural rock formation, located just 15 km west of Discovery Countrytime Hotel Omarama.
A geological wonder, the tall pinnacles separated by narrow ravines were created out of layers of silt and gravel deposited by ancient lakes and rivers over a million years ago. They have since been uplifted and tilted by the nearby active Ostler Fault, and eroded.
The cliffs are on private land. There's a donation box at the gate where you can pay the $5 vehicle admission fee.
To get to the Clay Cliffs, turn onto Quailburn Rd off SH8 and then onto unsealed Henburn Rd. After passing through the gate, drive to the carpark. From here you can walk up to and among the cliffs (10-15 mins from carpark one way). The road and track can get a little rough in winter – and inside the cliffs it is rocky and sometimes slippery underfoot. Closed, sturdy footwear is advised.
For more information and to book please
contact our Discovery Omarama Hotel team
who can offer a wealth of advice on Waitaki District and Mackenzie Region attractions.
