About Omahau Downs

As part of the Mackenzie/Waitaki Basins, Omahau Downs forms part of a nationally recognised and regionally outstanding landscape. The nationally unique Mackenzie Basin retains a number of natural predominant values including glacial topography,

geopreservation sites, its own ecological region, habitat to a number of endangered species, and is a highly valued natural setting and location for a number of tourist attractions and recreational pursuits.

Formerly, Omahau Station was part of the Ben Ohau run, applied for in 1857 by H and S Fraser and subdivided in 1918 into Bendrose, Ruataniwha, and Omahau Stations. Acquired from the Maori owners under the Kemp Deed of Purchase 1848, Omahau Station became Crown Land subject to the Land Act 1948.
