The difference between a house & a home is LOVE The difference between other motels and Settlers Cottage Motel is LOVE. The 2 bedroom cottage we stayed in was just perfect. Period Style with modern conveniences. Comfortable. Very Clean. Lots of hot water. Very comfortable beds. Spacious. The best VALUE for your money. The best SERVICE (EVER) from both Michelle... More

We had a two bedroom unit here in March 2012 for 4 nights - spotlessly clean, wonderful setting and sweet vintage style . Pete and Michelle were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Just 5 minutes stroll into Arrowtown centre, and surrounded by mountains - perfect! We'll be back!

We and our friends have stayed here three times, most recently for 8 nights, and wouldn't hesitate to return when next in Arrowtown. We feel very much at home at Settlers. It has a lovely personal feel, is quiet and comfortable, within easy walking distance of the town, and Pete and Michelle couldn't be more helpful.

We stayed at the Arrowtown Settlers Cottages in February on two occassions. Good spacious cottages, very clean, comfortable beds, good bathrooms. Fabulous location, only a 5 minute walk to the village. Great hospitality from a lovely family. We will be back.

What a place, everything it said it was and more! In a area famous for extremes this is THE place to stay; extremely relaxing, extremely peaceful, extremely quite, extremely charming; look no further! We have stayed several times and just keep coming back; it's the perfect home-from-home to balance out a hectic day, or grab a few calming hours before... More

Difficult one to review as it gets so many good reviews which we do not feel are entirely justified. Cleanliness is not an issue but we found the rooms to be rather drab and in need of some updating. Kitchen area is very small as stated elsewhere and despite the fact that it was February we would have like some... More

Arrowtown had been recommended by a friend as the place to stay rather than Queenstown. When we got there we realized why as it is very pretty, and much quieter and quainter than Queenstown. Don't misunderstand me, Queenstown is beautiful (though modern) and in the most spectacular location ever, but being retired we found the peacefulness of Arrowtown more appealing.... More

Not only is Arrowtown a beautiful place to stay (much nicer than Queenstown) this is a little gem. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and can point you in the right direction for pretty much anything - the hosts are locals. The rooms are spacious and well equiped (there is a seperate laundry room) though you could argue they... More

We found Settlers Cottage Motel on the internet and were looking forward to staying here. We were not disappointed. Our 2 bedroom cottage had plenty of room for our family with comfortable furniture and warm and comfortable beds. It even had a separate toilet from the bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal. My kids loved... More
