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. Khushi and Dave

Great place to stay. I was only there for the night, but found the unit to be clean and perfect for what I needed. Lots of room with a separate kitchen area and large wet floor bathroom, which was perfect since I am still recovering from knee surgery. Will book again in the future.

I liked that my host was most obliging and accommodating of my requests at short notice. The room was warm and super clean and comfortable. I am certainly going to make it my motel of choice when I travel to the area in the future and recommend it to others. 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.

My stay here was very enjoyable. The check in/out process was very quick, with a friendly host. The unit, while being an older style, is modern, in excellent condition and very warm and comfortable.

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.

Great welcoming motel close to Cromwell centre

I booked this motel after reading the positive reviews from other visitors. I had a great reception from the owner upon arrival who provided lots of information about the local area and recommended restaurants, walks, wineries and activities. The room was very clean and was what I expected - the owner told me that there is extensive redevelopment work happening in the motel at the moment. Shops, cafes and restaurants are within a short walking distance (5 minutes) and the historic district of Cromwell is about a 20-minute walk, or short drive. Would definitely recommend.
