The facility was clean staff really nice was a fantastic stay
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and comfortable
A great option in Whangarei as it is not in the centre of town although it's very close to the Town Basin. Surrounded by lots of lawn and trees. Great service and a reasonable restaurant. Comfortable room and a good shower.

Cheryl, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs a refurb
Hadn't stayed there for years so it was a bit of a surprise to see how it's aged. The rooms are quite dark and no Aircon. Rooms on the road side are traffic noisy so beware. Beds are comfy. The food is pretty good and the staff helpful and it's catering more for the regularly tradies who stay there than holiday travellers
Stuart, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great service by everyone and enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant.

10/10 Exceptional

The Settler’s Discovery Motel was a fantastic stay. The room was great, wonderful service with friendly staff, and great food. It was also a short walk to the Whangārei waterfront, and all the fabulous restaurants and cafes. I highly recommend this motel, and would stay again in a heartbeat.
Gina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very pleasant hotel where you can park your can right outside the door.
JOHN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Double glazing although expensive would help cut the noise from the nearby busy road. Fulton Hogan work crews staying at the same time, kept us awake chatting in a large group outside after 11pm.
Jane, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Easy walk to the Basin area and city centre
