The rooms here were very spacious, clean and tidy. The manager was very helpful and allowed us to leave our car parked while we visited Stewart Island for a couple of nights. We had two different rooms and both were large and comfortable. I would certainly stay here again if visiting Invercargill.

The room was very nice. Great size with separate lounge, bedroom, bathroom and toilet. Nice location for the city centre. Car park right outside the room. The front door would not stay closed unless locked. Overall, a great motel and would stay there again.

Very spacious and comfortable accommodation. We were traveling with our three adult children and the 3 bedroom apartment had room for us all. Well equipped with dishwasher and washer dryer. Location was good, near the park and a selection of shops.
