What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Beautifully refurbished hotel. Visited on a Saturday. Live music and a couple of awesome market stalls. Lovely sitting out on the verandah. Food was pretty good. Just a couple of tweaks to my meal and it would have scored a higher rating. They didn't heat up the brisket on the burger, and cold brisket isn't very pleasant. However overall experience was great and we have found a new weekend venue to visit.”
“Settlers Arms Dungog, beautiful old pub going through a refurb and it will be speccy. Great balcony, great reasonably priced food, fantastic service from Hannah and staff, nothing was too hard. Love love do visit”
“Stopped in with my partner for a celebratory lunch. We both had chicken burgers which were delicious. I also tried the settlers arms pothole pale ale which was an absolute treat. Will definitely try to drag some mates here after rides in the common.”
“Went to dungog to MTB, after riding at the common we went to the settlers inn for lunch. Great friendly staff, great service, the food was outstanding. Super fresh and delicious. Will be going back there again for sure. It was our first time going to dungog and it was an outstanding day trip with a fantastic lunch. Highly highly recommend. Also dogs are welcome”
“Sharing the fabulous Steak Sandwich on Valentines Day at the Settler's Arms. Great value, great food, fabulous staff!!!”
