Best Cromwell Hotels

Kitchen supplies could be improved, because there was no dishwasher and no range hood installed for ventilation, plus there was a scary sign ordering travelers not to cook fragrant food. Travelers arrive from all over the world with different food habits, so not sure what's considered unacceptable to cook. The electric cooking stove was old and kind of broken. The windows have no screens so it was difficult to leave them open without insects crawling in and we got multiple mosquito bites. Room on the small side for families as there was no separation. We appreciated the free washing machine and dryer, and detergent cost NZ$2.

This apartment is so clean and comfy, with a great kitchenette available. Also, nice outdoor dining table with excellent Mountainview. The good location to reach supermarket about 5 mins drive.

I stopped over in Cromwell for one night on way to Lake Tekapo from Queenstown airport, and stayed in this motel. The senior lady in reception was polite and kind. The sheets and room are very clean. It was early August and room was warm, shower is hot. One surprise is the view of sunrise just outside my room backyard, nice stay and motel.

Very close to the center, convenient transportation, great room facilities, public restaurant on the first floor, large, complete tableware, good boss, highly recommended

Very warm welcome from the owner, impeccably clean and tidy, well recommended!!

The hotel is located in a small town and is said to be a fruit town, but I did not find a lot of fruit. The room is small, but the motel is like this. The landlady is very enthusiastic. Seeing that we have children, we take the initiative to give us an extra bed to bring bedding and teach us how to use it.

Despite what’s advertised one should beware some misleading info. We expected a king size bed in the kings deluxe unit but the bed was closer to a Queen. More disappointing was the promise of a “kitchen” only to be presented with an outdoor BBQ grill, microwave, toaster, kettle, plates, bowls and a mini fridge. Absent were pots, pans, a hob and we were told at check in not to do any washing as there was no sink. To be fair, a breakfast basket of breads was provided with jams but it was certainly not a kitchen. When we raised the issue of different advertising with our host, we received neither clarifications nor any sympathy. Otherwise, it was lovely stay.

They have this policy of no loud music after 10pm but sadly our first night the people who stay on the buttom room bought their own speaker and turn on loud, beating music even after midnight. We called the reception at 11pm which they responded but the people just turn down the music and turn it on again after they left. Overall, Good location as Dunstan lake is nearby, Worth the money and the have a good view.

Cromwell is a beautiful place and this motel was perfect for our stay which included a trip to the Carrick Winery restaurant and a walk along the Cromwell to Clyde trail. The host gave us great tips on where to eat breakfast and overall was a super stay
