Always enjoy our stay here. The manager is very helpful and friendly. While it is an older property it is clean and very comfortable. Having the kitchenette gives you the option of cooking, if you want to. Is within easy walking distance to restaurants. The heatpump/airconditioning in the room is a bonus and keeps the room comfortable in the heat and on cold days. The sheer curtains give you privacy from other guests walking past your room.

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.
