A classic heritage property. Very walkable location. Ease of access to dining, bicycle hire and trailheads’ access. Bicycle storage available too. Host Ian was very gracious. 2nd floor balcony seating area was a pleasant bonus. Thank you!

The shared bathroom not good and the room was very small, barely room for our cases and no fan, uncomfortable especially for the price

Thank you Natalie, as we do confirm with return email, the shared bathroom configuration (you share with two other rooms, never been a problem for others though) this is of course your responsibility to check. The two rooms overlooking the balcony are smaller, and we are absolutely upfront with our pictures and description validating this, again, you choose this, these are priced in our budget range as a reflection of the type of room on offer. And, of course fans are available, you should have just asked us we would have happily provided you with one, thanks for your stay, do ensure that you thoroughly investigate further bookings with providers though....just a thought.

Wonderful historic property with lots of old world charm and a large veranda perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day of biking. Owner was very helpful and enjoyable to chat with.

Dunstan House is a beautiful character boutique hotel with everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable and friendly stay before and after cycle trails. The service is great, it was like coming home as it was the third time I've stayed here. Thanks very much Ian and Meredith, you are fantastic hosts.
