Pleasant stay

Review of Colonial Motel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Feb 2024
Great, comfortable, freshly renovated property with modern interior design.
We had a pleasant stay and having separate bedrooms was great for a family with teenagers.
Stayed only 1 night but would have stayed longer if we had more time in Invercargill.

Excellent place to stay in Invercargill. The rooms are very clean and quite spacious. And the owners are friendly and incredibly kind. Can't recommend it enough and it's just a five minute drive into town.

What a beautiful surprise. The owner is so helpful and our room is huge and like brand new. My husband found this one and it was like finding a little gold mine. Very happy . I would definitely recommend this motel to anyone . Being a two night stay there is so much room and it's fully equipped kitchen lets you save money on take away

Room tip: Little gold mine surprise

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.
