Stopped here for three nights in the 7 bed dorm. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. The detached unit was clean with what looked liked new or recently changed carpets. There was 6 of us stopping. The downstairs had an open plan kitchen/dining/living space. All six of us could fit round the dining table. It is great that it... More

We spent one night at the Settlers on our way across NewZ. The cabin was lovely, super clean & comfortable. It had all the usual refinements including heating! Limited but free wifi. We loved our twin cabin (one double and one single) and as I slept in the single bed I can confirm that it was very comfortable and very... More

Even though I left my booking to the very last moment my host could not have been more obliging. I arrived to a friendly welcome and was shown to a very clean and relatively spacious unit with a park view. On site I had ample space for my boat and was lucky enough to use the fish cleaning room following... More

We stayed in unit 8 which sleeps 7, and were very comfortable. Excellent quality linens, super clean, lovely leather sofas, good stuff all round. It also has a private hot tub room which you can reserve and a place to wash your car, which were nice touches.

I was traveling with a group and she had made arrangements for our dinner at the motel. The food was exceptional, especially the Tiramisu dessert. The rooms were... More

Settlers motel is centrally located near the town center. The owners are super nice and gave us a ton of info on local hikes, the crossing, food, etc. She booked our shuttle to Tongariro which will pick you up right on the street. Bed was pretty comfy, but a little smaller than a queen, lots of pillows, big kitchen area,... More

Owners Helen & Wayne are super friendly and gave us maps and tips for viewing the mountains. You can expect retro but clean accommodation. Close to town where you can get bakery treats, use the New World supermarket for your forgotten dental floss and a well stocked tourist info bureau. For all of this, the low prices at Settlers are...

Settlers Motel was the perfect location for our trip as we came to Turangi to go white water rafting. The owners were very helpful, suggested some walks we could take if we had spare time and even loaned us some towels to dry off with for after we went rafting, and that was after we had checked out!. OK so... More
