We had an executive studio. Room very good size however as it was on the road side of the property the traffic noise was loud and made sleep difficult. The deck in front of room also open for all to use and walk passed and again had lots of noise from fellow guests.
the hotel is quiet, nothing strange and no complaint at all, the reception staff was super friendly and nice, although the facility might be a little outdated, but it is good for value.
Convenient to town, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable bed

The room was lovely, had a great nights sleep , perfect location for our visit , easy walk to the Whangerai basin. Excellent service from reception , lots of good advice given. Will certainly recommend to our friends.
Basic accomodation but good value, close to town, comfortable and clean. I had breakfast and dinner in Settlers restaurant and it was very good. Wayne the manager is a gentleman and very helpful. No complaints, I would stay here again.
Ideal location, easy to find, ample parking, great staff. Plenty of space in room, well equipped with drawers and hangers. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. What's not to love!

Great service by everyone and enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant.
I always enjoy Settlers even though it has been in Whangarei for many years. The rooms are still comfortable but road noise can be loud but dies down at night. Food and service was good and I enjoyed dinners in my room. I would certainly stay here again.
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.
They rooms were perfect. We had a great night. Some of us walked and the walkers took their time but we asked for the key to unlock the room. Staff were pleasant and very helpful
I chose the cheapest room for a quick overnight stay, was surprised it was so comfortable. The bed was snug and the shower was good. Everything was very clean and tidy, plus plenty of safe parking.
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.
