Favourite Restaurants
Cromwell is booming at the moment, where there are more and more excellent eateries available on your doorstep. Here are a few of our favourites.
A brand new place on the Old Cromwell Waterfront (5min walk from the house). A great spot to have a couple of drinks and if it's blowing a strong northwester (typical Cromwell wind), this place is incredibly sheltered.
I haven't tried the food yet, let me know if you do!

Coffee
We love our coffee and hunt high and low to get our fix. Having the Nespresso machine makes this less frequent, it's always nice to head out somewhere for coffee and cake.
The coffee is good, the food is yummy. The best thing is it's only a 5-minute walk away from the house.
Grain & Seed Cafe
Melmore TerraceThe coffee is good, the food is yummy. The best thing is it's only a 5-minute walk away from the house.
One of our favourite cafes in Central Otago, however, it is in Queenstown. If you venture over, make sure you stop in here.
Not a bad place to have a coffee while waiting for your Ferg Burger!
