Marvellous Motel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Jun 2021
We recently stayed in a one bedroom unit and a two bedroom unit. Both were spacious, warm and spotlessly clean. The two bedroom unit was more like a small house. The beds were comfortable and the showers great.
There are car parks in front of each unit.
The hosts were super friendly and very helpful giving us some good local advice on things to see and do while in Invercargill.
The motel complex is centrally located and within easy walking distance to good restaurants, cafes and Queens Park Gardens.
We will definitely stay here again when next in Invercargill.
Date of stay: June 2021

Lovely little, immaculately clean motel. Super friendly staff happy to help us with our tourist questions! We parked the hire car up and didn't use it again til we left Invercargill because the motel is so handy for everything in town. We walked to the beautiful Queens Gardens, E Hayes (to see the World's Fastest Indian) and then a wee bit of a longer walk to the Bill Richardson Motor Museum.
Lovely Thai restaurant a 10 min walk back in to town (called Thai Thai.)
Would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable unit, friendly amenable owners. Great location.
I stayed before and after a hike an hour away. The owners were happy to keep some gear I didn't need on the hike and it was in my room when I got back.

This motel was lovely. Right next to Queens Park. It was quiet and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. We received a very warm welcome upon arrival and was advised where close shops were (if needed). I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely accommodation and nice owners do not make up for the extremely tired mattresses that came out of the ark! The mattresses are very firm and hard on the back. Yes great roomy accommodation and everything else is excellent but please renew the mattresses.

Thank you for your feedback Charmanda. We are sorry that the mattress in your unit was not to your liking. However, a mattress is a very subjective matter, as you can see by our feedback across multiple websites, that it is very rare that we get a negative comment regarding the mattresses. In fact we have had guests contact us to find out the brand that we have in order to purchase the same.
