Settlers Boutique Motel had excellent facilities! They even provided free towels for the local thermal hot springs as well as free washer and dryer access. The little apartment was very clean and well set up for our family. They provided a free cot for our baby. The service was excellent! They were incredibly friendly and helpful in giving recommendations for local food.

The mattress in the cot was slightly too small and the baby slid down the edge. Our 10 month old was ok, but that might not be safe for younger babies. I rolled up a blanket and filled up the gap and we had no more issues.

Honestly, I've been staying at a lot of "5 star" hotels and motels around New Zealand on this latest road trip, but this is the first place I really thought deserved 5 stars. Given the state of the other places, I would say this place was 7 or 8 stars. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The bed was phenomenal. After a long night of soaking in the hot springs I came back and just instantly fell asleep in the bed. The owner was wonderful as well. Overall, SSS+++ experience.

N/A. I wish there was something to even nitpick. Maybe the only thing is that she left dark chocolate rather than light chocolate for the bed, but honestly that just made my mom happier LOL!

Loved how cosy the room felt achieved by the bedding and decor. I appreciated the attention to detail put into the space. It had everything we needed for our two-night stay. We were impressed that they offered a Netflix sign-in on the TV along with a wide range of DVDs available at reception. It was also super handy that they had beach towels for the hot pools. The motel is an easy walking distance to most destinations in Hanmer.

I would suggest that the shower heads be updated as the water pressure wasn't the best.

Best place we have stayed in Hanmer by far. So many nice little touches like gladwrap in the kitchen drawer and bandaids in the bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy and the complimentary towels for the pools is such an unexpected bonus. Also Smart TV in the room with Sky Channels and a cute DVD selection in the office. Owners were also so lovely and friendly.

Not really much to say here as we loved our stay so much. I personally found the bed slightly uncomfortable but my partner loved. You'll never be able to get it right for everyone in that area.

We had an apartment with 2 bedrooms which was nicely decorated. We had a great sense of welcome from the host. The apartment was very clean. There was a lot of emphasis on internal details that made us feel welcome. For example, cushions arrangement at the living room and bed rooms, small chocolates for the guests. It gave us a great sense of comfort.

The laundry area could perhaps extend to 7 pm instead of locking at 6 pm.

Fabulous accommodation. The owners were delightful, warm and friendly. The location is perfect, off the main drag but walkable to everything you need. Lovely little features elevates this hotel above others, such as free towels to use at the hot springs, little welcome chocolate, fresh milk in the fridge, and overall just well-appointed. I highly recommend staying here.

this hotel had every home comfort you cold imagine, the spa bath was amazing and the welcome on arrival second to none. a privately owned boutique hotel with great facilities and close walking distance to all the hammer restaurants and bars as well as the springs just across the road. lovely towels were provided by the owners to take into the spring and this saves you a few dollars, the owners were amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here for our "mini" honeymoon over new Years. The staff were all so nice and they always had smiles even whilest cleaning! We have stayed in a few places in the area and for value of money this is by far 1 of the best! We loved how everything in the rooms had been done so detailed - matching furniture especially, and even the milk they provided us (which we didn't end up using this time). We HIGHLY recommend this place :)

Settlers Boutique Motel was one of the best motels that we stayed in during our 2 and a half week road trip. The unit was very spacious and it was beautifully presented and clean with some special little touches like chocolates on the bed. The unit was quiet and had its own little courtyard. We really appreciated having an allocated car parking space right next to the unit. There was a free dvd library, and free towel loan to use at the nearby pools. This was definitely our favourite place to stay during our trip.

There was nothing not to like. My only comment would be that although beautiful in the summer, the unit we stayed in can get quite dark from the shade of the trees, but we would definitely stay here again, and the trees are absolutely beautiful.

Friendly helpful welcome. Very clean and comfortable room. Great location. Free parking outside the room. Towels to use at the spa is a really nice touch. Free laundry. Would stay again.

WiFi was a bit sketchy Room above had a spa bath or something running which was a bit noisy at times.
