On our recent tour of South island decided we would stay away from the hustle of Queenstown and decided on Central Gateway,Cromwell. It was a good choice, our large en-suite studio unit was clean and had a comfortable king size bed. The kitchen area was well equipped. The motel is only a short from the lakeside and Old Cromwell Town... More

Just around the corner from Historic Cromwell, this is a little gem of a hotel.The historic part of Cronwell is so pretty and well-restored, it seemed like we had been transported into the past with lovely horse-drawn carriages and boutique bakeries. We found this motel well-maintained, comfortable and fantastic value for money. The room is well equipped with cooking utilities,... More

Just around the corner from Historic Cromwell, this is a little gem of a hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. AS it was very cold outside they were very nice and had the room heater on so that it was all snuggly warm when we went in. The room we had was really nice - unit 8 -... More

A wonderful welcome .... brilliant accommodation, perfect for a family of 5... Even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits. Warm & cosy accommodation. Kids delighted by the ability to use the DVD player .... many thanks. Hope to be back again next year!

This motel has unlimited views of the mountains, and is a stroll to the old town. We breakfasted on the balcony after a fantastic night's sleep in glamorous and comfortable beds with woollen throws. You get a free voucher for the wireless internet and the owners are kind and welcoming. You feel poised on the edge of town.

Really enjoyable! Were were upgraded to 1st floor room, with full kitchen facilities, the sleeping room was full of sunshine. Received one milk bottle and 100MB internet voucher at check-in. Cromwell itself is a nice little town, with supermarket, petrol station, shopping area and a nice historic center. Will come again in the future.

Accommodation was spacious, comfortable and clean. There was a 32" television with Sky channels. Kitchen was well equipped and guest washing machine was free and included washing powder.... More
