Family overnight stay in Hanmer

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Aug 2024
We had researched where to stay in Hanmer Springs and Settlers consistently showed as a good choice. Sometimes what you expect and what you get are very different, but I have to say the excellent reviews are certainly warranted.
The motel is in a great location, the room was spotless and well equipped, and the owners were lovely.
Having towels to use when visiting the hot pools was a really nice touch too.
We would definitely stay here if ever this way again, and would not hesitate in recommending Settlers.
Date of stay: August 2024

A beautiful spot and a great place to stay. The room was spacious, warm and clean. Lovely furniture and an amazing view of snowy mountains from our balcony. Super quiet in a great location. Wonderful welcoming hosts - we will be staying here again :-)

We had a lovely stay at the Settlers Boutique Motel.
The owners were friendly and helpful.
The room was very clean, warm and comfortable.
Location was excellent - very quiet but just a short walk to the hot pools and township.
Parking was easy, with plenty of room.
We look forward to another visit before long.

A warm welcome and a warmed unit made for the perfect start to a few days wintery holiday. I couldn’t fault this lovely motel. Comfortable beds, pristine presentation and the gesture of chocolates on arrival really do mean a lot. Highly recommend booking here

We can't thank you enough for this lovely feedback on your stay with us CiaoBella22 :) So glad to hear you caught some snow capped mountains on your stay too. A warm room is essential on these wintery days! Thank you for the recommendation.

We appreciated the flexibility demonstrated in accommodating 3 adults at short notice. Very warm and welcoming hosts.
Accommodation clean, with good cooking facilities. Cosy and warm rooms while snowing outside.
A very good central location - highly recommended.

Room tip: Good off street parking.
