There were nice touches everywhere. Eg the only motel we have had a heated towel rail in. Free towels provided to go to the hot pools with. A charming cat that accompanied us on our walk. Really lovely owners

Nice place to stay

Very convenient. Across the street from the thermal pools and just off the main drag. There are nice towels available to use att the pool as well. The one problem is that it says it has netflix but the wifi does not have enough bandwidth to support streaming. It was buffering all the time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property was very clean and well appointed. The room was cosy but the bathroom was large in comparison. The amenities were excellent and the staff were friendly. Sadly, the ground floor unit occupant is at the mercy of the upstairs occupants. My nights sleep was disrupted at 10.15-11pm at night due to the upstairs spa bath being run. The noise was immense, loud and vibrating. It sounded like a loud rumble dryer operating directly above the ceiling, then the sound of a washing machine as the water drained from the tub. All attempts to call, message and email the owners of the property were ignored and I was left to wait it out. Luckily by 11pm the noise stopped and I could return to sleep.

Absolutely Fantastic.

Settlers deserves nothing other that a 5* rating. If you go to Hanmer Springs don’t even bother looking at any other accommodation - choose Settlers every time. From the fantastic and personal welcome by Brett thru to the beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean suite and all the thoughtful touches (sticking plasters, hot water bottle and extension cable), Settlers is perfect. Thanks Brett and the team for a truly memorable and fantastic stay in your lovely accommodation.
