Stop over between Christchurch and Nelson

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Feb 2019via mobile
Planned stop over for the night travelling between Christchurch and Nelson. Super 5☆ motel rub by Sally and Alan. We had a ground floor studio with parking right outside. It was an unseasonal wet and cold 9C couple of days. However, heating had been put on, umbrellas provided and towels from the laundry for use at the Hot Springs. Also towels on the day of checkout. Please remember to return before leaving Hammer.
Room had everything you needed.
Loved our stay.

We always return to Sally and Alan at The Settlers who are magic hosts.
Settlers is a well established motel with well appointed units away from noisy roads.
Great bedding and good kitchenware.
Always clean and tidy, parking outside unit.

This is the second time I have stayed here. The owners are super-friendly and make you feel very welcome. The rooms are spotless and provide for everything you need. My only comment is the decor is probably a bit dated now.

Thanks for coming back to stay with us a second time. We appreciate you providing the positive feedback.
The decor is in keeping with the original "Settlers" Theme with hand made wooden furniture etc and we are reluctant to modernise it too much as that would take away our point of difference. We have an ongoing maintenance / enhancement programme which does address some of the more dated features. Thanks again for taking the time we do appreciate your comments.
Regards
Alan & Sally

I've stayed at the Settlers Motel a few times and I'm always really impressed. Service with a great attitude, fantastic rooms, facilities and location and always accommodating when I want to park my bike outside the room. Only great things to say about Alan and Sally (and Jill). I highly recommend and I travel a lot!

Room tip: Ground and back off the road but all rooms are quiet and secure

Hanmer Springs is a great place to visit and Settlers Motel is the perfect place to stay. Close to the thermal pools complex, shops and restaurants it is ideally located. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and well equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Spotless rooms, great service, portable bbqs on request and our two bedroom apartment even had a private outdoor space with swings.
Close to everything you need and want to visit in town and the staff are super friendly.
We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for making the effort to post a review, we really appreciate it. Unit 15, where you stayed, is great for families and children are safe in the private courtyard and can happily play on the swings. Close to the BBQ are too. We look forward to welcoming you back again some time
