3. The Terrace at The Settlement

"My wife and I stayed at The Settlement on the 7th and 8th due to a family bereavement. The staff were caring and compassionate from Check in to departure. The rooms are a generous size and spotlessly clean' The food was excellent and the waiting staff and bar staff attentive. Special thank to Jason for his care and kind words at a difficult time. I recommend The Settlement if you need accommodation in the Cranbourne area use The Settlement."
