This was one of the best motels we stayed in during our tour of New Zealand. The people could not have been more welcoming and helpful, the location was quiet but very close to the centre and the place itself was of outstanding quality. We particularly liked the fact that there were dressing gowns, towels to take out to go... More

A fabulous spot, clean and modern - well set out for a family of 4. Friendly helpful staff. The only draw-back was an issue with the hot water, which they were working on when we left. Would highly recommend it for all. More

If you looking for a motel that goes that little bit more, try Settlers. They provide lots of things normally not expected such as free wifi, video rental, towels to springs and a well fitted out kitchen. Very relaxing place to stay. More

Nothing was too much trouble for Alan & Vivian, the caretakers, including prioritzing the cleaning of our rooms for our early arrival. They also provide a lot of extras for free that other motels charge for - free wifi, free laundry, towels for the spa, good... More

Based on a one-night stay, Settlers does everything you'd expect from a standard NZ motel but does it much better than average. The room was reasonably roomy for a studio, well-furnished and spotlessly clean with up to date fittings. The bed was firm and the bathroom had all the required amenities including an excellent shower. There was a great, easy... More

Hanmer Springs was our first stop, after a 14 hour flight from the UK to Singapore, then a further 10 hour flight to Christchurch. Tranquil and romantic - my husband and I would definitely recommend it! A perfect and relaxing start to our honeymoon! We stayed in the chalet, which is separate from the rest of the units, but not... More

we had stayed there are about two years previously in the same unit and it was great. It has a separate lounge dining area to the bedroom. It has some cooking facilities such as hotplates and microwave. It has a little private courtyard at the back vwith a table and couple of chairs and a nice little two-person romantic swing.... More
