This property is spotless both in the rooms and the well kept grounds. The owner, Cheryl, is really friendly and gave us great information about the town and area. We used the BBQ for which she supplied tools, paper towels and spices. You can also do your laundry and either use a dryer or hang them on the line. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with plates, cutlery, pots, pans etc. Sky TV provides multiple channels. The internet is really fast. I would highly recommend this property for multiple night stays. - or just one night.

From the moment we arrived, it was a pleasure to stay at Colonial Manor, Cromwell. Reception staff were very friendly and professional, showing us to our room on the ground floor, as we had put in a request for. The room was spacious, recently renovated and had everything we required for our stay. The king size bed was very comfortable, the shower lovely and hot, and the room nice and cosy. Motel is within walking distance of shopping and dining. Definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay.

Spacious rooms.

We stayed on our way further south. The motel has a lovely outlook of trees. There is an outdoor BBQ for guest use and plenty of restaurants nearby. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and had everything you’d need. Bathrooms have recently been updated. Great spot to stay in Cromwell.

Absolutely lovely property! Super close to the shops - walked there and also the park with my daughter. The lady in reception - assuming owner or manager - was not only friendly and welcoming, but personally escorted us to the room, showed us around and where everything was and just made us feel so welcome. It was lovely to sit outside in the sun, enjoying a Central Otago rose - in Central Otago, with picnic tables set up in the gardens. The room had everything we needed for our one night stopover, with cooktop and microwave would be easily suitable for a few days.
