We were very impressed with this motel. We stayed in the 2 bedroom family accommodation which was really roomy and relaxing. It was immaculately presented and the facilities were great, with a feeling of generosity in what was provided - no stinting here! A lovely powerful shower too! It had a nice outside area too which would be great to... More

Our third stay at this motel and as usual it was welcoming, super comfortable and well appointed. Had a great night's sleep in peaceful surroundings with immaculate upstairs unit. Very friendly and helpful staff and a fabulous meal at "31". We will return!

Staff very friendly and helpful and room felt like a high end hotel yet homely. Free Wifi was very useful and it was nice to have more than the usual 100mb of other places. Everything... More

My husband and I stayed at the Love Hamner Apartment which is part of the Settlers Motel. It was excellent, really could not fault anything, perfect location, had all the amenities and more! Great corner bath on the deck and very private, many thanks we had a wonderful stay.

We stayed a couple of nights for a special birthday celebration and had booked the room with jacuzzi as a treat. It was all and much more than we had expected. Extremely comfortable room with a divine bed and beautiful linen. We liked it so much that we didn't feel like venturing out much. The bathroom was spotless and we... More
