Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Add to the list of motorcycle, Indian Motorcycle and Burt Munro collection of things to see and do in Invercargill. Also visit the Burt Munro monument in Queens Park. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

    Great fun for all! always wanted to try a digger and the kids loved being able to do it themselves as well! brilliant for all the family! slick operation with no mucking around, good instructors and value for money - we just did the small digger option.. Husband now just trying to work out how we fit one in the garage!

    This is a superb park with magnificent gardens in a huge space just on the edge of the town. Fantastic variety, beautifully landscaped and tendered. The trees steal the show - so beautiful and with incredible variety. Totally loved it. Cafe good too.

    Three levels of world class rare and vintage motorcycles found only at the bottom of New Zealand. Some big ticket machines (cost and rarity) you may only see once in a lifetime and the Britten display is great to see only here. The building is a wonderful old building repurposed to compliment the machines on display with various unique touches to look out for such as camshaft balustrade pillars, conrod handrail supports etc. With other motorcycle related displays in close proximity, this is a must for any motorcycle enthusiast.

    The drive from Queenstown to Dunedin via the Catlins did not disappoint and there was a diverse range of scenery from interesting rock formations, to small waterfalls, long sandy beaches and rugged coastlines, few people and many sheep. Worth doing.

    We drove onto the beach for sunset and it was so lovely. The beach is so deep and long it never feels crowded. We took food with us and it was great sitting in the car/on the beach watching the sun go down.

    It's a very short drive from the centre of Invercargill.

    There were a few cars driving like idiots but they were few and far between, so don't let that put you off.

    We stayed for one night and it was really pleasant. Really friendly owner welcomed us and showed us where everything is. There’s even a coin operated washing machine which was very handy. The gardens are beautiful and the ducks/geese are very curious - maybe they were expecting some food?

    We were very lucky that the caretakers were there when we went, as it would of been a shame not to see inside, they told us a bit of the history its well worth a visit.

    Add this gem to your motorcycle day out in Invercargill along with E.Hayes and Classic Motorcycle Mecca. Found outside the main gates near the carpark.

    An on and off rainy day in Invercargill. Only there for 45 minutes, but we could have stayed longer. The building, which is not open reminds me of something out of the Sound of Music. A very good kids play area and a nice 15 minute walk around the gardens. There were quite a few Tui's.
