Like Lake Dunstan for the care the owners put into guests, putting the covers over vehicle windscreens if it’s a frosty night, the expresso coffee available onsite, perfect start to day or prior to long drive ahead, the amigos and Carrick winery plug, plunger coffee in the motel rooms, friendly and welcoming

Hi Tony, Carrina and family

Lake Dunstan Motel is indeed a hidden gem in Cromwell.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely classic motel with its peaceful surroundings and the views of the golf course and the hill/mountains in the background.

Loved having our breakfast outdoors .

We shall definitely return to it in the future.

All the best.

A lovely view of the golf course out the ranchslider, a private outdoor area, and plenty of room for children. thank you - ex-hotelier

Great Motel to stay it is central to all attractions less than an hour away from Cromwell.

The only down side is that there were three outdoor heat pump units that resonated a drumming noise through out the night while trying to sleep. Would definitely stay again but in a different unit.

Location was very good, handy to shops and restaurants. After we had registered and paid we were then informed that our room would not be serviced as it was a public holiday the next day and he didn’t want to pay staff to clean. This was not a problem for us but maybe a discount could of been offered.
