Once again another great stay at Settlers. I love the rooms up the back, newly upgraded, lovely furnishings, warm, close to carpark, quiet. We have made this our place to stay when I come up to visit my daughter with her little sister. The restaurant is great and the breakfasts yummy! The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

If you are looking for a great place for your group to stay in Whangarei, look no further! In 2011 we had a large group who stayed for 3 nights over Christmas and once again in 2013 for a one night stay. On both occasions our group was really well looked after by all the staff, the rooms were large,... More

Pleasant clean rooms, well equipped bathroom with nice towels. Modern TV with many Sky channels. The adequate continental breakfast was included in the price we paid sadly the cooked one wasn't, which was disappointing. Easy convenient parking and close to the town centre.

Great place to stay nice and central, rooms have been refurbished and are very nice. location is excellent, staff very helpful. On my stay breakfast was included in the price, basic but all you need. Water pressure was great if you like a proper shower, not just a trickle.

My party had booked ahead and we arrived to be told we were being given a complimentary upgrade to the superior suite - for all three bookings! The rooms were newly renovated and they did a great job of it. Modern, classy, spacious. King-size beds. Awesome showers (the best I had while in the country!). Friendly and helpful service. The...

A bit apprehensive on arrival as there were a lot of renovations going on but that meant our room was newly furnished and really nice. The room is rather small and compact so it meant the ammenities were a bit tight but quite adequate, although no air conditioning, fan or clock. The bathroom basin was too small to fill the... More

Thank you so much to Discovery Settlers for making our wedding perfect. The staff there are amazing, Rick (manager) greeted the bridal party in the carpark when we arrived and it made me feel like everything was under control and being taken care of. The buffet meal was awesome, plenty of food and very tasty, and the staff were incredible,... More
