“The Best of Barry Avenue.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We have just completed a very happy seven night stay at the Colonial Manor, Cromwell.The purpose of our stay was a family wedding plus exploring the beautiful Central Otago region. Jenny & Tony and their staff made us feel at home the whole time, very friendly and helpful. By staying in one motel rather than moving around we realised we had a far more relaxed holiday and actually got to know the area better this way. Thank you very much Jenny & Tony.
Jan & Jamie, Feilding NZ.

“Most enjoyable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

A well laid out studio unit on the ground floor, well maintained and provided all we needed at a good nightly rate. Clearly the owners are focused on providing a quality service to their visitors.
The motel is situated close to the new shopping mall, isite and other amenities.
Wifi service was included in the room rate (with a reasonable upper limit on usage). The unit was very clean: the bed was comfortable: it was quiet and we got a good nights sleep: the bathroom was well laid out and the shower operated well: it had all the extras we needed, and more.
The hosts provided helpful advice on restaurants etc
A recommended stay

Thank you for your positive feedback. You are correct ,Cromwell is very different to Queenstown and being so central in Central Otago has a lot to offer the traveller that wishes to explore the area.

“Excellent value and lovely and quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

After fleeing Christchurch (escaping from yet another swarm of earthquakes) we stayed at the Colonial Manor for two nights. We were in need of sleep and so were looking for somewhere quiet. It delivered exactly what we were looking for - a clean, well laid out and set up motel room that was very quiet and away from the road. The bed was comfortable, it had a good shower and the kitchen contained all that you needed for a couple of nights.

Cromwell may not be Queenstown but it is a fantastic location to base yourself. It is an easy drive to many day trip destinations. It is also the pick of locations if you want to do some mountain biking. Queenstown, Wanaka and Alexandra offer fantastic options and are all very easy to get to if you stay in Cromwell.
