Welcome to ASURE Central Gold Motel, Central Otago.  We are delighted you have chosen us for your accommodation in Cromwell and hope you have a wonderful stay.  For any assistance during your stay, please contact us on 03 445 4700.

Your Hosts are Rebecca & Mike Johnston

We purchased the Motel in April 2025 after moving to Cromwell from Te Anau in 2023. Mike continues his job as a Production and Design Supervisor for Electronet while Rebecca runs the Motel full time.

Originally from North Otago, we moved to Te Anau in 2005 where we raised our 2 sons. Mike worked in the Power Industry and Rebecca worked in Tourism and as a Teacher Aide at the local College before purchasing and running Blue Ridge Bed & Breakfast in 2016 until the move to Cromwell.

We love everything Cromwell has to offer from the bike trails, lake, rivers and wineries to the heritage and location.

This Motel has been a member of the ASURE group since 2010 and we are looking forward to the support and friendships that come with being part of the group. The marketing opportunities give us extensive exposure and the annual NZ conference and SI Regional conferences are a great way to meet and learn from other moteliers.

The ASURE Loyalty Programme is very well received by guests – grab your card and start collecting stamps today! More details can be found in the ASURE booklets in your room, or ask at Reception.

We extend a warm welcome to you and hope your stay is enjoyable.
