Always very good.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Aug 2019via mobile
A great motel which is well run and immaculately presented. So close to the village about 5 mins walk away
Will stay again for sure

Some very good places to eat in the village. Found No30 100 m away and that was outstanding

Thanks for taking the time to post the review, we really appreciate your kind words. The forest walk with the wood carvings is proving very popular with all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime.

Overall very good. When I arrived there was no one to check me in at the counter. Waited for awhile and rang bell 3x and eventually walked around property. Finally got the attention of staff and Jill kindly checked me in. Apologized profusely. No probs, first time it's happened. Jill very welcoming and friendly and very accommodating (excuse the pun.) Room was serviced everyday and they did a fantastic job of cleaning. Room was nicely heated before I arrived. Pity the freezer is not upto standard had same issues as last time where my ice cream was not properly frozen. Jill kindly put it in her freezer and I could retrieve at my leisure. Overall very good. Very well looked after and keep going back.

Hi Henry
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Technology is great until the battery goes flat & the pager doesn't work - I appreciate your understanding in why it took me a little time to realise you had arrived, as I was in the units cleaning.
Your kind words regarding our room servicing is very much appreciated. We try very hard to provide the best possible 5 star experience at reasonable rates.
Yes the kitchenettes do only have a small fridge & freezer available however we are more than happy to store large food items in our motels fridge/freezer unit which can be accessed during office hours between 8am - 8pm.
We look forward to seeing you back again at Settlers again - hopefully it won't be as cold next time & you get to enjoy more of the great biking that Hanmer Springs has to offer.
Kind regards Jill

We were gifted a voucher package which was great in itself, but once we arrived, we realised it was even better than on paper. Wonderful friendly hosts. Clean, warm and well presented room with clever attention to detail that all contributed to a very comfortable relaxing stay. Wish we'd been staying longer.

A lovely place to stay with all the little extras in the room. Attention to detail. Jill was very welcoming and very helpful. Very clean and all we needed. Advice on where to eat for an evening meal. What more could you ask for.

Wow. Impeccable. Settlers Hanmer Springs completely deserves it's 5 stars.

Amazing service, the rooms are perfect and for what you get, reasonable rates.

In my 45 years, this has been the single best accommodation I have ever stayed in.

Thank you so very much.
