Beautiful stay at Hanmer

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Mar 2019
Bed was comfy and beautiful host, would recommend close to restaurants and thermal pools, I love the area as it’s close to everything such as walking near the forest, it’s one of the nicest accommodation we’ve ever had,

A real find in Hanmer as this is much better than a motel, with plenty of room, well stocked ie. plenty of towels tea, coffee etc, pool towels available. We had a very comfortable bed & a good 2 nights sleep as it is in a quiet area. Lovely hosts who even posted back my phone plug - many thanks. This place is convenient to town centre as well. This is where we’ll be staying next trip.

Room tip: Good views from upstairs room.

Thank you so much for your lovely review of your stay at Settlers. We do work hard to ensure our guests have all they need. We are pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay and that you will come back to visit us again one day.
We are indeed located in a convenient part of the village, with the Thermal pools and restaurants and shops a 5-10 minute stroll and the Heritage forest with beautiful walks and the Dog Stream just at the end of the street.
thank you once again.

We stayed in this motel for 2 nights in a standard studio. It has excellent facilities, lovely comfy bed, fluffy towels, far more extras than you would ever expect. Alan, the host cannot do enough, what a nice man he is. I would advise anyone coming to Hanmer Springs to try this motel. This was our last nights before flying home. They say leave the best till last - we certainly did!!

Loved the stay. Lovely room and amazing hosts. Conveniently located to the town centre, bars, restaurants and the thermal pools. Hanmer is a favourite spot of ours as it's only just over an hour from Christchurch along with its established trees makes the town seem a world away. A nice escape.

We stayed here for one night and thought it was great. The service was great and location awesome, would stay again for sure, so quiet and relaxing. Lovely and clean. Towels were available to take to the hot pools which was a bonus.

Great to hear you and your son enjoyed your stay at Settlers. I think it was the only rain in weeks so we were pretty happy as all our trails are open. We are pleased you were comfortable and happy with your room and we will see you next time!
