Please look after Pau the same way she looks after us! She is amazing.She makes mine and the boys stay very good. Pretty much the only reason we come back is cos of her. The food is yum, portions could be bit more for us though as some of the boys don't come breakfast yet we are still charged for it, but if we ask for extra food they don't really give it cos it aint in the "budget" of $110 that our company pays for food everyday.

Settlers is a great place to come, being from Fulton Hogan the only reason why I suggest to my boss we stay here is because they do aim to take care of you. Pau in the kitchen really does make sure we are looked after from the moment we step through the door, making sure our stay is comfortable and we are well fed!
Will be back!!

Room tip: Pau and all the staff are very helpful! Always making sure we're comfortable

There's no escaping that this is an older hotel. Forget that though and enjoy the warm and friendly service.

Our room was impeccably clean and staff were so accommodating when we said our Grandson (3) was having a sleepover. We were able to choose a room service (or not) over our stay which was great for saving on unnecessary daily linen changes.

The hotel restaurant offers breakfast ( continental or cooked) and the dinner we had on site was beautiful.

We have rebooked already for an overnight stay in a couple of weeks.

We visited for one night recently. The room, while small, was perfectly adequate although is seemed somewhat damp and possibly unused for sometime? The location at the back of the property meant we had no view but it was very quiet, which we appreciated. Unfortunately the bed was sadly lacking in comfort, with an old innersprung mattress that I imagine hasn't been upgraded in many years. I really don't think its adequate to provide a bed of this standard when you are charging over $200 per night. Its what I might expect from a cheap bach rental. We would not stay again due to the bed. On another note, while the heatpump was good to see, the filter had not been changed or cleaned and as a result we were reluctant to use it. Fortunately the excellent buffet breakfast went some way to make up for the bad nights sleep.

Room tip: Ask for a room with a new bed!

Dear 300barbarag, Thank you very much for taking the time to post a response. I appreciate your feedback as that gives us teh opportunity to see where we can improve. I am very glad to see that the breakfast quality was able to make your stay more pleasant and I am sorry to see that the bed was not comfortable for you. I am looking at the beds, and am slowly replacing through what is required. I will look at this one sooner. Thank you for letting me know. Kind Regards, Darren

We loved staying here. The room was large and airy ( downstairs comfort room) with 2 queen beds. Great breakfast and food was excellent.
The whole area of Whangarei was beautiful. Rugged and natural .
The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Room tip: No air conditioning so grab a downstairs room if it’s hot weather .
