After 30 years teaching in various rural and urban parts of New Zealand, as well as four years in the U.K. Rob and Joan have chosen to develop some roots in Central Otago. They have always believed that “learning” is a life-long experience and so they put their skills and interests into the hospitality industry. Central Otago has always held a fascination for them both. From their earliest memories of the gorges and ravines, the pioneering ambience of the early gold rush days, to the thunderous roar of the mighty Clutha and Kawarau Rivers and the rapturous splendor of the Mountain peaks and tor studded landscapes. This area excites the passions of history and environment.
Tramping the hills and valleys of Central Otago, cycling through the area on the old BSA 3 speed in the 1960s was an adventure which fueled a love of this region - romantic perhaps – yet thoroughly satisfying. The Central Otago landscape never fails to reward the climb to the top of the next hill. Explore wide open spaces of contentment and plunging ravines of gorge and crevasse. Experience the explosive heat of the earth in summer and the crispness of the snow capped mountains in winter. Uncompromising in its beauty.
To enjoy this timeless land, Rob and Joan invite you to take time out in a busy world and rest up at Carrick Lodge Motel which is in the heart of Cromwell. You can be assured of comfort and hospitality as they endeavor to share their passion and love of this area with you. Their personal experience of travel ensures they are able to offer more than a very comfortable stay as they recognize the importance of ‘relationship.’ It is this aspect of hospitality that is a priority for them. Their life experience and the quality Carrick Lodge offers will make your stay more than memorable.
