中門汽車旅館(Central Gateway Motel)

My son and I traveled through New Zealand at the beginning of March 2023, and we stayed at a number of motels, so we gained a pretty good appreciation for the better ones versus the bad ones. Central Gateway Motel is most definitely one of the better ones. Super clean and very well maintained. Comfortable beds, and the best pillows I have ever slept on (May I know the brand, please?😊). I was greeted warmly and with a smile, which is sadly becoming a rarity. If you are traveling near Cromwell and are in need of accommodations, I can highly recommend Central Gateway Motel. You will not regret staying here.

Lovely , relaxing stay at Central Gateway Motel . Exceptionally clean . We could not fault it . Had everything we needed . Being away from the hassle and bustle of central Cromwell makes it a nice quiet place to stay with an easy walk to the Old historic part of Cromwell . Lovey helpful hosts . Would happily stay here again .

The cabana accommodation was basic and of a low standard, we made the mistake of pre-paying, and would have walked away from the place had we not made that mistake. No air conditioning, shower and facilities for that room were well below standard. The owner was pleasant enough but seemed to resent us not booking direct with them.

Such a lovely place to stay, it’s older style but so clean and well maintained that it doesn’t matter at all. We stayed two nights - the bed was comfy, the owners were super lovely and our upstairs unit was impeccably clean. My sister always finds something wherever we stay and she was amazed by the high standard of Central Gateway. Would absolutely stay again!

Thank you, Hayley, for bending over backwards for us when our other accommodation fell through. The rooms were beautifully clean, the beds super comfortable, the facilities great, and the service second to none. And the location so close to the lake and bike track - highly recommend!!

Travelling around the South Island my husband and I stayed at this very comfortable motel. Friendly greeting on arrival, scrupulously clean and very comfortable. Close enough to walk to and by the lake. Our unit had a super king and a single bed!

We had a wonderful stay at the Central Gateway Motel in Cromwell. We were warmly welcomed by Hayley, who gave us great advice on winery tours and places to eat and drink. Our room was spacious and every comfortable with a separate kitchen. The bathroom was roomy as well. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had parking directly in front of our room. We were within easy walking distance to the Heritage Precinct where there were options for dining and a very cosy bar. We stayed for two nights and would definitely return. We couldn't fault it. Thank you Hayley for your hospitality and wonderful accommodation. Donna and Antonio

Great stay here in a quiet location of town, room was very comfortable with everything you need, plenty of hot water, and bed very comfortable. Motel location close to old part of town five minute walk, takes about 10minute drive to get to centre of town for food shopping and restaurants. Friendly owners will definitely be back, thank you so much.

Very quiet and great off-street parking. I found the heater in the lounge wasn't as warm as I would like it but being elderly this was probably due to my age.
