We stayed a couple of nights at Settlers whilst in the area to the Tongariro Crossing. Unfortunately the weather was horrendous so we had to make other plans, ably assisted by the owners of the motel. The guys were a mine of information on the local area and gave some great advice allowing us to make the most of our... More

Booked a one night stay here on 4 January 2012. Helen actually hoisted the Royal standard of Scotland and the Scottish flag to make us welcome - what a lovely touch! Our Unit (no 2) was excellent. very clean and had everything we could have wanted - even current magazines to read. We requested a light cooked breakfast the following... More

The day before we checked in we had a look at the rooms and we were arguing that there was... More

We would highly recommend this exceedingly good value self-catering family accommodation which was spotlessly clean with crisp, white bed linen and great quality firm queen bed ... with the additional bonus that the hosts, Helen and Wayne, have a total understanding of what travellers require. Helen just couldn't do enough for us - advice on restaurants, phoning hot springs, offering... More

Nice and clean, warm (stayed in winter) , spacious units for families. Close to town center for food etc. We did run out of hot water in the shower after about 10 minutes - but, it warmed up after a couple of hours. Was a little above average in cost - for our 6 person unit, the rate was listed... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with my 2 teenage sons while we went skiing. Wayne & Helen were great hosts, and us helped out with alot of things like drying our gear each day and giving excellent local recommendations. Wayne even saved me by having a phone charger he could lend me when I forgot mine! We were a... More
