A larger TV and a coffee table for tea/coffee would be something to consider. Just suggestions as it was excellent and we would definitely stay again. Lovely large rooms, very comfy bed, clean, etc.

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.
