Comfortable pleasant stay

Reviewed By GrantT372

We stayed here 3 nights as part of our mountain trip. The motel was set back from the road, quiet, clean and comfortable and with pleasant open areas for BBQ, cleaning bikes and even an area for securing bikes if required. Helpful and friendly managers and a good location near a supermarket. Price was probably a bit higher than similar places we had stayed in in other towns and no servicing the room during Covid was their policy. Would we stay there again. Most probably especially if biking..

Kitchenette facilities are provided in all but two rooms (these are the upstairs studios where a microwave and toaster are available). All rooms are fitted with fridges.

We have just stayed with the wonderful hostess Sheryl at Colonial Manor Motel in Cromwell. The location is superb being close to the bike hire we acquired and the township. Quiet and restful. The outdoor setting is great to relax and unwind in with a glass of the local wine!! Sheryl is the perfect host...warm, welcoming and helpful on every level!!

The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The unit was clean, spacious, well laid out and nicely decorated. The parking was good and the small outdoor area for each unit was a bonus. The location was within walking distance from the town centre.

Superb accommodation

Reviewed By John L

We had been booked into Naseby because of the lack of available accommodation in Ranfurly because of film crews taking over the town. Naseby is a great choice though. The Lodge is well situated with modern self catering rooms all constructed with an eco-friendly theme. Sadly their on-site restaurant had closed because of Covid so we had to self cater. Not an issue but had we realised the cost of food at the small local dairy, we would have bought supplies in ranfurly before leaving!! None of that distracts from the Lodge being a great place to stay

Such a lovely place to stay, it’s older style but so clean and well maintained that it doesn’t matter at all. We stayed two nights - the bed was comfy, the owners were super lovely and our upstairs unit was impeccably clean. My sister always finds something wherever we stay and she was amazed by the high standard of Central Gateway. Would absolutely stay again!

Photos Dont look like Motel we stayed in

Reviewed By 673wendyc

Paid $135 for a night in the hotel which had restaurant and bar facilities attached. The photos dont even resemble where we stayed but address fits so hope am reviewing the correct hotel. We were told that it had a complete overhaul so maybe photos on site need an overhaul as well. A big hotel complex with plenty of parking and newly redecorated room which was very clean and had small kitchenette, dining and lounge area with Television and free wi-fi.

We booked 5 rooms for a one night stay on our family Holiday and we couldn’t have been happier in our choice at the Cromwell Motel. Michelle was excellent to deal with right from the start when we first enquired and very friendly and helpful when we arrived. The units were comfortable, warm and very clean. Thank you Michelle and co for such a pleasant stay !
