Cromwell in Central Otago

Cromwell recently claimed the title of the largest town in Central Otago. It is also, technically, the newest town, after the original old town had to be moved when the Clyde Dam was built and Cromwell’s main street was flooded to create Lake Dunstan. Cromwell is located centrally between many of Central Otago’s major tourist towns, just 50km’s from Wanaka, and only 60km’s from Queenstown. Dunedin, the largest city in Otago is a scenic 3 hour drive (approximately).

Stone fruit is the jewel in the crown of Cromwell, but when you’re not devouring sweet new season fruit – including cherries! – you can get your fill of activities no matter what the season, as Cromwell offers a plethora of action packed activities, or smooth scenic highlights.

Take your pick from the following activities:

• Picking fresh stone fruit right from the tree!
• Jet boating on Kawarua river with Goldfields Jet
• Visit the “world famous” & historic Goldfields Mining Centre
• Countless family-friendly cycle trails
• Highlands Motorsport Park
• Enjoy the many award-winning local wineries
• Boating and swimming in Lake Dunstan
• Spectacular walking tracks
• plus access to five local ski fields, all situated within an hour’s scenic drive from this motel!

Whatever the season, there is something to enjoy in and around Cromwell, which is why it is so popular and has many visitors returning year after year, both for business and family holidays.
