Feb 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### GARTH M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Donna W.

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.
