Hello my name is Jill and I hope we will be able to share with you a very lovely part of New Zealand. I am the New Zealand Bed and Breakfast Book co-ordinator for Central Otago, so if what we have to offer isn't quite what you want then please email me and ask for other suggestions. Our fully self contained Bed and Breakfast accommodation has a large double guest room with ensuite, a private entrance and veranda, television, a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Our two spare bedrooms are also available for guests as our boys are employed in Queenstown and no longer live at home. We enjoy our guests immensely with long chats over the dinner table and around the fire at night. During the summer we sit in the garden and enjoy our extremely long evenings. Bradley Sigh our Golden Labrador and George Manapouri our tabby cat will make you most welcome.
I manage the Cromwell child care centre and help with the orchard, especially during the fruit season. Our apricot orchard is just outside your backdoor, so in the fruit season you are welcome to wander amongst the trees and pick your own fruit.
Cromwell is the stone fruit capital of New Zealand, and it has an interesting history of gold mining. If you want to try your luck then you can do so just down the road. Many of our guests find that Cromwell is an excellent place to break their journey, as we are an easy 5 hour drive from Christchurch, and only 40 minutes from Queenstown or Wanaka.
