Last minute booking. Friendly receptionist on arrival. Great room layout, big bed, fantastic breakfast with helpful and friendly staff. Only negative was other guests who smoked outside their room near ours, and the smoke smell came into our room.

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.

Great friendly staff. Buffet breakfast was delicious. Unfortunately some of the rooms could do with updates. The smooth edge on the carpet is sharp and digs into your feet.

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

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.
