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. The whole place was immaculate and obviously very well taken care of. From the gleaming taps in the apartment to the grounds and even laundry room. This was one of my favourite stays as literally had everything you need. The apartment itself is very modern and the wee kitchen was very handy. Bed was super comfy and the bathroom had controllable heated floor and an amazing shower. In the complex you have lots of areas to sit and relax as well as a communal kitchen (supplied with EVERYTHING!), guest BBQs, laundry and lounge. The lady (sorry I have forgotten name) is so helpful and you get milk on arrival and she will help in anyway with takeaways, directions and even change and washing powder for laundry!
