Detailed Reviews
The proprietors were friendly and helpful. It was a pleasant surprise to receive a complementary room upgrade. The facility overall was good, i.e. convenient, clean, good heating, Sky TV, lots of wheelie bins, and well maintained. Daily room servicing was efficient. The location is a short drive from the CBD, easy to find and tucked away from the traffic and noise. The only minor gripe is banging and scraping noise from a nearby room which sounded like maintenance or similar. It wouldn't have been so annoying if they'd only let us know. We'd stay there again.

Hi BlackKooky Thank you for your review and rating, we appreciate it but are somewhat confused by your 'noise' comment as we were not doing any maintenance in June or July - our last update was in early May and the builder and plumber only worked between 9.30am and 4 pm. I wonder if you could hear noise from the neighbours? If so, I apologise but was not aware of it at the time.

We were given avery warm greeting when we arrived at the hotel, Nice room with plenty of seating.
As we were not local asked the receptionist for recommendations for meals & she was extremely helpful. Went to one she mentioned and had a great meal.

My husband (30) & I (28) stayed in this motel for one evening, stopping on our drive through.
We had a small room but it was perfect for both of us for one evening. Bathroom and kitchen area was small but we enjoyed showering and having breakfast easily enough. It even had a bar area to sit at and eat.
The room had a mini bar if you are interested in having a snack!
Parking right outside.
Owners suggested a good restaurant and gave us a free drink coupon!
Honestly I would highly recommend.

Motel was more than adequate along with being clean and tidy. Awoke to a frosty morning and our windscreen had been covered for us by the owners of the hotel along with everyone else's. On checkin the woman (sorry cant remember your name) gave us lots of helpful advice on what to go and see and do and when asked a nice place for dinner the suggestion she gave rung true and was a great eat. Thanks for he helpful advice.

Stayed here for the 2nd time. Lovely friendly owners who offer advice on where to eat etc. The cleanest room we have stayed in on a weeks trip in the South Island for business. Rooms have everything you need & are very well maintained. Although on a main road no issues with noise.

From the outset booking my stay was smooth and hassle free.
Diane and Stuart (moteliers) were lovely and friendly and were a wealth of knowledge for a first timer in Invercargill. (Plus they lent me a ladder for 3 days for a renovation project I was working on, godsend!)
The motel units were warm and comfortable, a real home away from home, so to speak and the beds were unreal! Slept like a baby every night (the electric blankets were very nice!!).
Breakfast was a nice touch not always provided in motels and definitely not expected at such a low tariff. The Samsung LCD's made watching the Bledisloe Test on Sky much more enjoyable!
All round a great experience and will definitely be calling in again for my next trip to Invercargill.
