We stayed for one night. Owner was very helpful in providing tourist information and lots of ice cubes for our drinks. Rooms were very clean.
There are lots of restaurants nearby and we recommend a tour of the gold mine area.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to provide ice to our guests and all rooms have an ice tray to freeze more in the room fridge. I hope you got lucky and panned some real gold as several of our guests in the past have done.

Whilst travelling NZ we enjoyed our stay here. Attention to detail is displayed when they offer a cover for your windscreen if frosty or towels for the aquatic centre across the road
Very friendly and our room was very comfortable

Room tip: We prefer downstairs as closer to our car

Thank you for your review. We have had a few good frosts this winter and quite a few of our guests have used our windscreen covers to ensure a safe clear screen start to their day. Pool towels are also popular so as not have that chlorine smell in your bath towels.

Very friendly welcome and service throughout. Excellent location and facilities. Nice and warm during a cold week. Sky sports a bonus! Just wish shower was a little more powerful.....(but that's me just nitpicking).
All in all highly recommended.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We have recently treated all the shower heads for lime buildup so here's hoping the pressure is better.

We stayed just one night at this fabulous motel in Cromwell, we were in an upstairs studio unit with wonderful views to the mountains & beyond. Check in was a pleasure, the hostess (who was looking after the complex while the owners were away) could not have been more helpful or pleasant showing us to our room personally (something that doesn't happen often these days) to explaining everything we needed to know & later giving us an excellent recommendation on where to dine. The unit itself was immaculately clean & very comfortable.I was very pleased to see that saccharin sachets were provided with the complimentary tea,coffee & sugars etc, this is the first time I have found this in a motel. A couple of other thoughtful features were the provision of a small hand magnifying cosmetic mirror & a clothes line in the bathroom for "smalls" I also appreciated the complimentary make up remover. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have just booked a 7 night stay next January! Thank you for a most enjoyable stay albeit brief this time

Room tip: Studio Unit 5 upstairs for fabulous views
