Perfect little place in a beautiful location. Donald and Sheila we're very helpful with everything. Everything was clean and well maintained. The lake was lovely for swimming, and so many gorgeous birds, a wildlife haven. The only downside was the busy road next to the cottage which was very noisy.

A modest cottage with great views. Unfortunately, the strong winds made the experience less enjoyable than hoped for. A car or bike needed to get to shops.The host was respectful of our privacy too.

Amazing location

Lovely setting on the lakefront, ideally situated a few minutes drive from Cromwell. Cosy and warm good for this time of the year, cooling and road noise may be an issue in hottter months. Property manual had little to no information regarding any facilities no mention of the spa pool availability or the places of interest and restaurant recommendations.

By the Lake Lagoon - Lake Dunstan

You would stay at the Cottage by the Lake at Lowburn for two reasons. You are breaking up a road trip with a comfortable night or nights stay in modern units with all of the amenties. The other reason is you want a modern place that you can just chill, watching the ducks in the lagoon/lake while you enjoy a morning coffee or in the afternoon sitting on the seat by lakes edge. Lowburn is close enough for exploring what Central Otago has to offer. Enjoy

Beautiful Bach

Me and my wife really enjoyed this bach. Beauitifuly designed bach with great view of lake and snow capped mountains. Very clean with all the modern amenities. Had a nice walk up the hill on opposite side of lake which had an amazing view of surrounding area. Close to beautiful Cromwell town where we bought fresh meal ingredients. Property owner was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. 10/10

Great stay

This stay was in a fairly new compact but functional selfcontained cottage beside part of Lake Dunstan. Host was very accommodating. Kayak's and cycles available at no extra cost. Some traffic noise during day but quiet at night. Thank you Lowburn

Perfect Cromwell Cottage

Our stay was very short but we found that everything about this booking and stay was hassle free and great. Great spectacular view over looking the river and so central to everything. The cottage is equipped with all essentials and more. Our stay was at the end of April and outside it was cooling down but the cottage is cosy and warm, bed was very comfortable. The hosts are very lovely people although we didn’t see them much as our holiday was jammed packed and we were only there in the mornings and at night. It was my partners first time in the South Island and he definitely preferred staying this beautiful and quaint cottage than the Timaru hotel or Christchurch motel we stayed in. Thank you Donald and Sally for making the experience amazing!
