You have everything you need from coffee/tea making facilities (they even supply you with proper milk not the UHT crap.. Which... More

We travel to Cromwell monthly for business and can't say enough about the warm hospitality and excellent accommodation at Carrick Lodge. Rob & Joan go the extra mile to ensure we are well looked after each and every time, and there isn't a better accommodation or more convenient location in Cromwell. The rooms are spacious with up-to-date decor, plenty of... More

We found the Carrick really marvellous. Rob was very hospitable and even lent us a DVD about the history of the flooding of the original town for a dam - very interesting and informative. Our room was self contained, large, comfortable and beautifully furnished - a cut above the usual motel (several cuts actually). We also had an outdoor area... More

We were offered excellent off season rates by the friendly staff in reception who gave us an excellent recommendation for a lunch venue (Mt Difficulty Winery). The rooms were very clean and roomy. More

We were really happy when we arrived at this hotel with both it's location and the hotel itself. It was meant to be a one night stopover on our way to the Milford but if we had had the time we could have stayed a couple of days.

We cooked our own dinner as there was a grocery store about two short blocks away, and the kitchen was nicely... More

We have stayed twice now at Carrick Lodge and we can't say enough positive things about it. Rob and Joan, the hosts, are really delightful people which is always a great start. The rooms are super clean (even when we turned up at the last minute) and the bed and linens are lovely quality. We have stayed in a spa... More

When we arrived I realised I had stayed here for one night the year previously on a tour. Then I had a ground floor room at the end facing the road and it was enormous. This time we had a first floor room at the end facing the mall and Iloved it. Cannot fault the room or the acommodation, clean... More

We stayed two nights at Carrick Lodge in May 2008 - it is now under new management and the new owners seem great. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The location is good too - there are several food options just over the road at the Cromwell Mall. Cromwell also makes a great base for exploring the local wineries... More
