"First time in Cromwell and saw the great reviews for this very well located and very affordable (a bargain really) motel and it didn’t disappoint.
From a price/benefit perspective it’d be hard to do better.
PS
This is still a motel not the Hilton so don’t confuse my review. It is fantastic for what it is."
"Great little place, a bit of a walk from the main hub of Wanaka, but felt quiet and peaceful. The place was spacious and clean, with great scenery around. Had a nice little patio and green space. Kitchen was adequate and had enough to cook simple meals. We had a great stay!"
