Set within 3.7 km of Central Otago District Council and 34 km of Kawarau Suspension Bridge, Harvest Park Studios Accommodation provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Cromwell. With inner courtyard views, this accommodation features a patio. The aparthotel also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. New modern accommodation in an industrial park that is excellent value for money. The room has a small but functional kitchenette. The Cromwell has a lot to offer and Wanaka is an easy drive. We thought this accommodation was a good base to explore the region from. We loved the shower but best of all, it’s very close to Sanga’s Pies which are the best we have had in New Zealand.
