Friendly reception at a quietly located motel near the old town of Cromwell. Well equipped, large kitchen with superb view. Clean and comfortable with plenty of towels. Heating was quick and responsive (not always the case in NZ motels). Nice grounds with adequate parking. Good shops within short drive, including an excellent wine shop (Pembroke). Very good base for Central Otago, especially for those sensible enough to avoid the tourist monstrosity called Queenstown. more
