My husband and I stayed in Settlers Motel en route to Christchurch from Nelson. We loved every minute of our stay there.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Apr 2019
Our room was spotless and had everything we could ever need. Chocolates on the pillows was another nice touch.It is a beautiful location and we would highly recommend it. The little touches add so much and the staff and owners were super friendly. The washing and drying facilities were super too and meant we traveled home with the minimum dirty laundry. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay .
Date of stay: January 2019
Room Tip: The property is very select and I would think all rooms are quiet .
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

The motel was quiet, clean, conveniently located and had everything we needed. A friendly welcome all contributed to a relaxing time. Easy walk to the pools and a little further on to the shops. A nice touch providing towels for the hot pools.

Room tip: Nice balcony on upper floors.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and shown to our rooms. Very helpful staff. The owner knew my name and was expecting us and greated me as I walked in the door by name. Beautiful accomodation, super comfortable with lovely finishing touches as chocolate on the bed. Easy walking distance. Thanks for a refreshing visit. Carol 😘

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.
