Omau Settlers Lodge Motel

What guests think

Omau Settlers Lodge Motel draws praise for its scenic, peaceful coastal setting, friendly hosting, comfortable units with character, and an inviting on-site hot tub that several guests used for relaxing and stargazing.

The location is out of town near Cape Foulwind, lighthouse and seal colony trails, with a handy pub and restaurant next door. Rooms are cozy and well appointed, though a few are small and some furnishings show minor wear. The complimentary continental breakfast and its communal room are widely liked, especially the homemade bread, though several reviewers called the offering basic or occasionally disappointing. Expect a friendly, low-key coastal retreat.

A one night stay but wish it was longer so we could walk the seacliff trails and sit on our verandah and admire the views. A small unit but it had everything we needed. Breakfast was provided in the breakfast room. The usual cereal toast and coffee suited us fine. A good opportunity to meet some interesting fellow travellers.

Pleasant surprise, Pamela was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great scenic spot. The tavern being within walking distance a bonus even though we didnt visit. Rooms were well appointed but felt it needed a deep clean, heater was covered in dust. Breakfast room was a great set up as a shared space with more than enough for a continental breakfast. Dudnt use the spa but nice that Pamela let me know. Loved meeting their friendly dog Meeka. Would recommend as a restful escape in a NZ west coast setting.

Lovely, spacious Tom felt very luxurious. Enjoyed star-gazing from the hot tub which was just steps away from our room, but felt like it was in a secluded oasis. Breakfast room was awesome.

The location of this motel was fantastic. We loved the ocean, mountain and starry night views. We were able to walk to a restaurant for dinner, which was so nice after a long day of driving. The owner was welcoming and funny. I think I made a new friend. The rooms were spacious, well appointed and clean. I wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe on our next trip...

The property location is lovely. Close to the coastal walking track and the fur seal bay. The gal at checkin was friendly and helpful. The room was large and very clean. The bed was comfortable. The refrigerator in the unit was very tiny and the freezer wouldn’t even freeze our small ice packs overnight, which was unfortunate. The breakfast is fairly basic (cereal, toast, yogurt, fruit), but the breakfast room is a lovely way to meet fellow travelers. The units are very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again

Lovely receptionist, great little unit. However an aircon would have been appreciated in the heat. An added bonus having a continental breakfast supplied for guests. Location is beautiful, it’s 10 minutes out of town so only a pub next door to eat unless you drive back into town. Lovely coastal walking tracks and going up to lighthouse.
