Omaui is a seaside village of aprox 30 houses, there are beach and bush walks right there. The main activity is relaxation, chilling out. There are no shops, cafes or bars here. The nearest town is Bluff which is 15 minutes drive away and Invercargill is 25 minutes drive.
Omaui is off the beaten track but also close to town. A hidden gem...
