A little patch of old school…
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.

Nice and quiet until the road noise kicks in, but not much can be done about that being so close to the road.
