I was delighted to have found Alan's gallery today. He welcomed me into his place and guided me though his amazing art. Art that is created with his whimsical style, and astonishingly all water colour (you wouldn't guess with some of it). I adored meeting this wonderful soul and hope one day to purchase a piece of his art. It is the type of art that you look at with such fondness and awe.

Artwork. Fused glass, wire and jewellery housed in an historic stone building in the bakehouse courtyard surrounded by shops, cafes and galleries overlooking Lake Dunstan.
This quaint jewellery shop in Old Cromwell precinct is a treasure trove of stunning works of art. Cleverly displayed floral wire works, fine handmade earrings and necklaces, recycled fine china, and Marie’s quirky handmade cards and glass ‘stories’ will easily encourage you to reach for your wallet. You won’t be disappointed

We were visiting Cromwell, and wandering around came across this museum. We spent sometime talking. to this lovely lady called Ann what a wealth of knowledge she was. You need a bit of time it might, look small but goes on and on. Wonderful. A gold coin donation

Hayes Engineering Works & Homestead is the former home and engineering works of the gifted inventor Earnest Hayes and his family. Explore the 1900’s belt-driven works where significant agricultural inventions were created, including the still-in-use Hayes wire strainer and triplex. See what life was like for those working in the engineering trade and for those who lived in rural NZ. Discover the lives of the Hayes more intimately as you walk through the family Homestead or “the Big House”, where the inventions continued – this periodically restored, 1920’s mudbrick home had electricity, a flushing toilet and even piped radio through the bedrooms! Refresh yourself at Hannah’s Café with freshly made food and espresso coffee or browse our gift shop. Cool drinks and free water available. Hours 10am – 5pm 7 days from September through to May (except Christmas & Boxing Day). Or see the works in action on our Operating Days: Sundays January 3rd, February 7th, March 7th, April 4th 2021.
A stop here for coffee, lunch or the delectable food should also include a wander around the historic engineering works and homestead. It's a wonderful insight into early NZ history and will make you appreciate all of today's modern conveniences! Historic Places staff couldn't have been nicer- well worth your support. If you're cycling the Rail Trail, this is a good spot with super padded seats for comfort while you sup.

Art Space Gallery based on the waterfront in Old Cromwell town and comprising the collective works of up to 15 artists.
This gallery is a collective of local artists and is one of the most attractive spaces I've seen. There was an artist on duty to tell me about the art and also the history of the town.

Fibre studio and craft galley. A rainbow of colours, an array of textures, all to inspire fibre artists and crafts people who reveal (transpire) a joyful gallery of New Zealand creations. We now spotlight the creative skills of New Zealand artisans at the historic J.D. Stewart General Store ( circa 1880).
