We stayed for 2 nights as 2 couples in an apartment. (No 13).
This was a lovely, spacious apartment, well equiped, has great outdoor space.
The motel is very well situated close to the town centre, about 7 minutes walk.
Would certainly recommend staying here.

Room tip: We had room (apartment) 13.

Thanks Peter for your kind words, we really appreciate it. Our 2 bedroom units are certainly great for 2 couples and the outdoor courtyard is well received, especially on our warm summer evenings.

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.
