Beach Hotels in Cromwell

A clean, well-equipped accommodation, the winery belongs to a family that produces delicious wines unique to New Zealand. Highly recommended

My wife and I enjoyed an ideal week-long stay in this lovely B&B in Central Otago, located between bustling Queenstown and laid-back Wānaka on New Zealand’s South Island. The owners, Sam and Fred, are fantastic hosts. The property is extremely well-kept, fresh, and attention is paid to every detail (comfortable bed, lovely sheets, wonderful bathroom, arrival note, welcome basket, nice appointments and enough storage. We enjoyed walking along the lake mornings and evenings, just off the rear of the property. The breakfasts - made truly B&B style - are amazing, with Sam crafting her offerings around the region’s high-quality fruits and produce whenever possible. We give this property our highest recommendation. Regarding the location: Mount Pisa is located in the heart of the wine producing area of Central Otago with many wineries surrounding Lake Dunstan and along the Gibbston Gorge. It’s a fine central location for short-hop travel to hiking, kayaking, fishing, wine tasting and distillery tours and even skiing (Cardrona Ski Field) in the winter. But, yes, a car is definitely necessary. The location is about 50 minutes east of Queenstown and 35 minutes west of Wānaka, so figure in the extra time when planning your evening meals. Cromwell, near this location, has some pubs and restaurants (Brannockburn Hotel a recommendation), but the exciting options are farther removed. Central Otago is a beautiful landscape with stunning mountains, lakes, streams and sunsets. The activities available near Wānaka alone could keep you busy for two weeks. We really appreciating staying at this property which made all of it so easily accessible.

Beautiful decor, bedding and linen.
