Greeted with warmth and kindness, fully prepared for having a dog and the facilities were spotless.
Great location and perfect for a dog.
We will be back and have shared our experience with family and friends.
Settlers is a quaint little motel. We were in Turangi for the fly fishing and the river is nearby. The room was spotless and comfortable. It is not modern or flash. Donna is a wonderful, chatty and helpful host.
Comfortable stay. Nice large room. Wifi did not work. The owner was a really nice lady and made you feel welcome. 5 minute walking distance to local bar, supermarket, Burger King as well as close to walking track and lake fishing.
