Pennys Drop Inn

Penny’s is a thoughtfully designed shared accommodation place, perfect for solo travellers, friends, couples and groups.

Located only 10 minutes from Cromwell, Penny’s Drop Inn is an easy base for exploring Queenstown and Wānaka while enjoying a quieter rural setting.

The private rooms and dormitories allow you to rest and recharge before heading out into the spacious and modern communal areas, where stories are shared, friendships form, and experiences are created.

The surroundings and the discreet, sustainable approach to life naturally encourage slowing down, enjoying the environment, reflecting, and appreciating the present — especially after a full day exploring beautiful Central Otago.

Outdoors, guests can relax on the lush lawn, enjoy the picnic table, meet over a drink with other guests, and enjoy the open green space and fresh country air.

Accommodation options include an 8-bed male dormitory, a 6-bed female dormitory, and eight private double rooms — all warm, neat, and well-built.

The property has spacious shared facilities, including clean bathrooms, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a generous dining area, a cosy lounge, and coin-operated laundry.

All rooms are well insulated and soundproofed to ensure a comfortable stay at Penny’s Drop Inn. The rooms are secured with electronic locks for extra safety. Free Wi-Fi and storage are also available for all guests.
