Overall Ratings & Reviews Colonial Lodge Motel

The property was good for it's age, just need to upgrade the vanity top in the bathroom, basin had lost its smooth finish. I felt it needed more lighting in the main room.

Great experience, quiet spacious 1br unit

Convenient to friends we were visiting. Noisy on main road

Only a few units so not difficult to park. It had all you needed to stay for a few days. Lovely staff.

Lovely motel - clean and well maintained but out of town

Lighting was a real issue and a lack of power points as well. Seating for a family unit was not engough to wide down

The owners are very friendly, helpful, and caring. Had an issue when booking through Expedia but the owners quickly directly contacted me to solve the issue. The rooms are clean and spacious, and ours had a nice view of the golf course. The curtains in the room were black-out curtains and they had several outlets in the room so convenient for charging devices. We were glad they also had laundry facilties for guests. You can easily walk to an area with many restaurants if you don't want to cook. Each room has one designated parking spot. A great location/price to stay if you want to do a day trip to Queenstown or Wanaka and there aren't (affordable) accommodations available there. It is also a quick 3-min drive to the Cromwell Heritage District if you want to experience a little local history, and there are places with locally produced fruit nearby.

My family stayed here for one night which served the purpose. Overall we thought the property was tired. The garden and playground area was un-kept, cigarette butts on the car park and the entrance to the room didn't look welcoming as a knackered pair of chairs and table sat outside. The linen was clean, but the upholstery was completely worn. One of the chairs should have been thrown away. The bathroom was fine except the toilet cistern which was very old. Would not stay again.

Nice and clean and quiet. No alpacas. Shower door would not close properly.

Overall we had a nice stay. Everything worked properly and the property manager was quite helpful. Property was a bit older and a bit tired, but we had a good stay nonetheless.

This motel is fine for an overnight stay if passing through. However it could do with a cleanup outside, lawn & gardens were messy. Could do with a ceiling fan or air conditioning as it got stuffy in room during the night. Bathroom is updated and looks Great. Manager not on site when we arrived for allowed check in, was away having lunch. A note on the door would’ve been a good idea.

Nice and clean, warm and tidy

There was a loud noise ( sounded like a water pressure tap ) that went off for about 5 seconds approximately every half hour which was very annoying especially during the night. Vanity basin in the bathroom old and stained. Won't be staying there again!

This motel is pleasant and clean. Although a bit tired inside, it was tidy and adequate.

Loved our stay.

Booked on line with this property. So smooth check in and ground floor room. There is a dairy across the road, restaurant 100m from motel. The supermarket is approx 2k away, fully recommend this a place to stay.

The staff at this hotel were absolutely wonderful. They promptly changed our room without any questions, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend their excellent service!

We kind of knew this would be a budget option but we didn't expect that there would be underfloor heating and it had everything we needed for our brief overnight stay. Would we stay again? Definitely! So easy and just the right amount of stuff to make you feel very comfortable.

Well positioned at the end of a long days drive with easy parking. Good comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. Just what we wanted.

Room for the family well away from traffic noise and room for the kids to play.
