Although this hotel is dated, it's comfortable and well appointed. The room we had was huge, but still warm and homely. The restaurant and bar are reasonable, and the food was good. The conference facilities are ok too. The staff were reasonably friendly. The hotel is set in some attractive grounds.

The only downside to this place is that it's quite a hike from town. Definitely not walking distance. But a car is a must anyway to explore the Catlins.

Pleased to read you found the Ascot Park Hotel to be comfortable and friendly. We do have a courtesy coach available for guests who wish to go in to the city of Airport. I note you were touring our beautiful Catlins region, I trust you had an amazing journey.

when i checked in, the reception staff were great and friendly and walking to my room, met one of the lovely housekeepers. room was great, bed was super comfy, but cups were a bit coffee stained when i made a cup of coffee. also the wooden cabinet which the cups and glasses were stored, maybe needs a new paint job or a sanding - just looks a bit shabby in comparison with the room. loved the beautiful pictures on the walls too!!!!! i will definitely be back =)

I was recommended the hotel by an airline pilot who used to stay here...the bar, food, wine and service were all wonderful. The room we stayed in was one of the cheapest however it was clean and large with a kitchenette. I would recommend the hotel without hesitation.

Called in off the road and booked in for the night. Had an exceptional night with delightful meal of venison and great service I can not have mushrooms so the cook did up a plate of venison with no mushrooms just for me it was delightful. Would recommend to all

Invercargill might be at the bottom of the South Island but that does not mean that their Hotels or Hospitality is in any way compromised.
Quite the opposite in fact. The hotel is s great place to stay with all the facilities right there.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating at all times and they certainly went out of their way to ensure our Conference was a great success.
The weather was also very warm which was quite a surprise to all that were there.
Quite a number of people extended their stay and went to Stewart Island.

You are correct, we may be near the end of the world, but our Southern hospitality keeps the genuine warmth in! Really pleased to read your comments about the Ascot Park Hotel and to learn that some of you had the opportunity to visit our jewel in the crown "Stewart Island".
Kindest regards Bryan & the Team
