Everything you need
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.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021
Response from Lake Dunstan Motel on 10 Aug 2021
Thank you for you review. I haven't had any comments previously about the heat pump unit noise, I suspect it may nave been that the units were working harder than usual due to the freezing temperatures. It has been very cold some nights lately which may be a contributing factor. But I will also get them checked as they are supposed to be a very quiet model which is why they were selected. Great that you enjoyed the other aspect's of your stay and if you want any particular room please call me and I can secure you get the room requested. Regards Chris
