Such a beautiful place to stay in Hanmer! The location is perfect—it's just a short walk to the main street, making it so easy to explore the shops, cafés, restaurants, and everything else Hanmer has to offer. This was our second time staying here, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The accommodation is always clean, comfortable, and has everything we need for a relaxing getaway. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always happy to help and making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We absolutely love staying here and can't recommend it highly enough. We'll definitely be back again for another visit!

5 stars in every way, could not recommend this stay highly enough

We had an amazing 4-night stay at Settler Boutique Motel and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Sue was absolutely delightful, so friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and she really made us feel welcome. The room was spotless and had everything you could possibly need, from tea, coffee and hot chocolate to robes, toiletries, plenty of towels, a comfy bed and a Smart TV. The little extras like free laundry facilities and towels for the hot pools were such a thoughtful touch. The location is perfect too, just a 5-minute walk to the hot pools, restaurants, pubs, mini golf, animal park and the township. We came home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a fantastic few days away. We’ll definitely be recommending Settler Boutique Motel to our friends and family!
