settlers cottage? more like settler's disappointment! the shower ran out of hot water, and a towel rack for extra towels would have been lovely. i almost gave a good review, but not getting that complimentary treat upon arrival was a bit much. an absolute oversight for what i expected to be a luxury experience.

A charming cottage with lovely period features, our two-bedroom stay was comfortable and just a short stroll to Arrowtown's shops 😊.

A charming stay with friendly hosts

Settlers Cottage was a delightful surprise! The owners, Carl and Jayne, welcomed us with warmth, making us feel right at home. Our spacious room featured a cozy bed, and the location was perfect for a scenic stroll into town. Enjoyed riding e-bikes along beautiful river trails, and we even had a charming feline friend, Monte, visit us during our stay!

While the overall experience was positive, a few details could be improved. The pillows were quite soft and perhaps needed a firmer option for better sleep, and I missed having a full-length mirror for getting ready.

quaint character, clean accommodations, charming grounds

Shower ran out of hot water unexpectedly!!! Extra towel storage needed for a more pleasant experience!!!

the cottage was a bit chilly at first, but jayne and carl were so welcoming and helpful during our stay. they had heaters on for us, and the e-bikes were fantastic fun! also, the location was great—easy walk to the cafes and shops (very convenient! ).

Comfortable beds and quirky outdoor furniture make for a charming stay. WiFi may need improvement.

Family with children perfect getaway

Got to say, this place just oozes character. The owner, Carl, he’s a real gem, giving us fantastic tips on where to eat and what to see, felt like we were at a friend's home. Our room had a comfy queen bed and a spacious lounge where the kids could spread out. They loved reading while gazing at the beautiful autumn leaves.

Wasn’t too pricey but still felt a bit on the upper side.

Do recommend for a short break

Charming space, comfortable beds, and great amenities made our stay enjoyable, featuring quick access to local attractions and an inviting outdoor dining area for relaxation.

Totally content.

Convenient location, cozy room with a lovely garden. Wi-Fi was inconsistent at times.

Charming stay with a furry friend

What a lovely spot! Had my own little garden and the place felt super cozy. The bed was comfy, and I enjoyed watching Monty the cat chill around. Nice outdoor dining area to enjoy breakfast. Just a heads up, the internet was a bit spotty at times, but overall, it was a fab experience!

I had an incredible stay in the charming studio at Settlers Cottage Motel. The warm welcome from the hosts was truly heartwarming, and I loved the cozy atmosphere. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the town with plenty of dining options, and the Historic Chinese Settlement is nearby too. Everything was immaculate and well-maintained!

I missed having a wider variety of tea options.
