upstairs more expensive river view was kind of a sham, because there wasnt a real view at all, it was just a noisy street

The rooms were very clean, but they are old. The breakfast was ok, but they didn’t refill the trays when food had all gone. I felt for people who came after us, because their choices were limited

The rooms were amazing looking in pictures online but not that nice in reality.

Good points: comfortable bed, large shower, breakfast included. Not-so-good points: shoddy furniture and surroundings, room very small, only one teaspoon and no way to wash up cups and glasses, dining facilities quite poor.

Helpful with check-in and questions. Breakfast was very good. No AC only a fan. Opened door to balcony to blow in cooler air. Got bitten by bugs. No screens on door or windows to keep bugs out.

Good and quiet location. The facility itself is aging and out of date, our room is downstairs and smells old and dampness, the bathroom don’t have space to put your Toiletrie. The small Air con is not making cool airs, guess it’s just a heater looks like air con, they do have a free standing fan provided, but just not enough for a summer night, we downstairs can’t open windows for safety reasons at night make this worse. We paid 240 for a night during the busy new year eve period, not worth it. The staff is friendly though.

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.

We were a late arrival and the staff had turned the heater on in the room, very thoughtful.

Hotel is quite dated, but has been well preserved!! It is kept up very well. The restaurant is very nice with reasonable pricing and a fair amount of selections. The morning was missing eggs during my stay. That is a staple for me. So I chose not to spend the buffet price for mostly things I preferred it to have. Would be nice to see the hotel incest in some upgrades to keep it self appealing. An enclosed/ heated pool would be wonderful. Also more entertainment /media choices for the rooms. Providing hdmi inputs or airplay devices for those bringing their own media to link into the hotels tv’s would also be nice. These type things would take the then quality of stay up another level. Not a bad stay at all, but could easily take it to the next level. FYI: the pricing was great!!
