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
