About

Pennys is a thoughtfully designed shared accommodation perfect for solo travelers, friends, couples and groups.

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

The private rooms and dormitories allow you a chance to rest and reset before venturing into the spacious and modern shared living; where stories are exchanged, friendships are formed and experiences are made.

The setting and subtle sustainable approach to living will naturally encourage you to slow down, soak in your surroundings, reflect and appreciate being in the present moment. Particularly after a full day of exploring the beautiful Central Otago.

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

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

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

All rooms are well insulated and sound proof, to ensure you have a comfortable stay while at Pennys Drop Inn. Our rooms are secured with electronic locks for that extra peace of mind. Free wifi and storage is also available to all of our guests.

The hostel is lovely, the owner was very helpful. The kitchen is big, lots of parking, beautiful location, and three adorable dogs. One of our best stays this trip.
