Twice in February and once in March 2012 I had the opportunity to stay at the Central Gateway Hotel in Cromwell, South Island. The hosts Dave and Leeza Smith became friends on my first stay and family on my subsequent stays. It was wonderful when Leeza remembered the room that I liked and made sure that I had the same...

This motel has unlimited views of the mountains, and is a stroll to the old town. We breakfasted on the balcony after a fantastic night's sleep in glamorous and comfortable beds with woollen throws. You get a free voucher for the wireless internet and the owners are kind and welcoming. You feel poised on the edge of town.

Really enjoyable! Were were upgraded to 1st floor room, with full kitchen facilities, the sleeping room was full of sunshine. Received one milk bottle and 100MB internet voucher at check-in. Cromwell itself is a nice little town, with supermarket, petrol station, shopping area and a nice historic center. Will come again in the future.

This motel is one of the best we have stayed in. The owners were very friendly and helpful. As we were staying for 3 nights we were upgraded to an upstairs studio. Accommodation was spacious, comfortable and clean. There was a 32" television with Sky channels. Kitchen was well equipped and guest washing machine was free and included washing powder.... More

This motel is in a quiet location and within walking distance of Cromwell old town and the lake. Room spacious (we had the one next to the garage) and owner/manager really helpful and friendly. Picked it from the AA book because it had free internet. We only stayed one night as we were passing through to Mount Cook. Good value.... More

I stayed for a week for a photography trip around Otago during the peak of autumn colour recently. The service is excellent and the owners very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely - modern, clean and tidy with a large bed and large TV plus enough heaters to sink a ship. The rate for the week was very competitive... More

This is a great value for a budget motel. We stayed in a ground floor studio for NZ$99/or about US$80. Everything was new and clean. The king-size bed, 37-inch flat screen TV, full kitchen, reading lights for the bed, parking spot right in front of the room (for ease of loading and unloading), friendly and helpful welcome made us feel...

We stayed here for one night only on our way to Dunedin. Now the location was good for us for just the one night, but I must point out that we stayed on a public holiday. So the area was very quiet. I did however notice a childcare centre right next door to the motel, now as I have a... More

We thought we were booking a middle range motel, the pricing was affordable for our requirements, but were we in for a surprise! The unit was fantastic, like new with everything and more... Super King Bed, Huge TV, Air Conditioning - well needed on the hot day we were there. The deck with views of the lake and hills was... More
