This is the first review I have ever written - that is how pleasant my experience with Settlers Motor Inn was! My wife and I were staying the night before photographing a wedding and our experience was excellent. Not the most modern of places, but neat and clean, and friendly service. We were pleasantly surprised to have our bug infested... More

On a recent trip to Tenterfield for business we chose the Settlers Inn Motor Inn, good value comfortable room. Walking distance for good dining options. A very peasant surprise in the morning our windscreen had even cleaned. Wow never have we had we had that before. Would certainly stay again. Fabulous area rich in history. Good value hand location.

Called into this little gem after driving from Qld. We hadn't booked a room, just stopped by when we saw they had vacancies. The gentleman that greeted us was lovely. Offered us a queen or king room room. Spoke to my husband about an upcoming fishing comp & have suggestions on where to grab some dinner. The motel also provides... More

The Settlers Motor Inn is located close to the small town centre of Tenterfield and on the main highway. The rooms are fresh and well furnished and noticeably very clean. From this aspect they are appropriately priced for the style and location. It was also a really nice touch to pack the car in the morning and find that the... More

I traveled to Tenterfield on business and I was with a group of 5. The hotel is situated at the southern tip of entry into Tenterfield and entry just off the main road. Reception / check-in went well but the managers seemed nervous and unsure of themselves - I understand they were stand-ins. The motel has an acceptable "motel layout".... More

As the owner I was away on a break when this customer was at my motel. And of course we use microwaves in this motel kitchen, i would be very surprised to find a restaurant kitchen anywhere in Australia that didnt use microwave ovens.
