Very good stay at Cape Foulwind..
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.

Quaint cottages in gorgeous location near fur seal colony, breathtaking views and charming neighbourhood. The host was friendly, accomodating, we really enjoyed the use of the hot tub and breakfast. Would highly recommend staying here.

The units were quiet, and warm. Bed very comfy and a table to write at is a bonus.
Great pub next door for food. Breakfasts are continental, but home baked bread is good!
The carpet is worn from sun exposure in some units.
The host is great with knowledge of the area and general conversation.

Excellent little hideaway.Very hospitable host. Great value for money. Communal complimentary breakfast. Would definitely recommend.
A beautiful place with a great owner. We had one night stay on our trip through South Island, but it feels like at home, the place is peaceful and quiet, the little detailed deco in the room is unique and home feeling. Breakfast room is such a great idea to meet with the people who staying there. Nice scenic walks nearby, certainly will stay again next time back to the area.

Lovely clean unit. The hot tub was a great addition especially as we were the only ones there. You can see areas that need maintenance. The breakfast was great and plenty of it.

Omau Settlers Lodge was a wonderful discovery
Recommended by another property in Tauranga Bay, we were blown away by the hospitality of Pam (the owner )
Great lodging , fabulous breakfasts included in rate, and proximity to Cape Foulwind and the seal colony made it even better . So glad we chose this resort over staying in Westport . Highly recommend this lodging
