Awesome Stay

Review of Monarch Motel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Sept 2023
Lovely tidy room and great service from staff and owners.

Was a small issue with the shower in the morning seemed to go super hot and then run cold before going back to normal temperature kind of like it is set on a communal system if someone turns the water on in another room it effects other showers.

Apart from this one issue was a lovely stay and very convenient for what I was doing in Invercargill
Date of stay: July 2023
Room Tip: Shower early or late try and miss the rush :)

To be fair, we were not here long as we were up early after one night to catch low tide at Cathedral Cave. That said, the room was clean, kitchenette reasonably well equipped and bed comfortable. Ample parking. If you're touring NZ and happy with motels then the Monach is worth a try.

Booked in for just the 1 night. Easy to find.
Room was perfect for family of 4. We had a Queen in the living area and 2 singles in a separate room. Rooms were big and I liked that the additional bench space had stools to use as dining table.
Bathroom was a good size.
We were on the ground floor near a stair case so was worried about noise, but didn’t hear anything.
Very clean and well maintained!

What a great place! Clark was super helpful with our booking changes and our bags and that made a huge difference to our stay in the south. Everything was in the perfect place in each room and so clean and pleasant. It would be the best motel I’ve ever stayed in - across several countries! Can’t recommend Monarch Motel enough. Fabulous!!!

Monarch Motel is well situated in Invercargill, access is from the SH and also a side street. I had an urgent unexpected trip to the city because a family member was hospitalised and Monarch stood out as being convenient and a very fair cost. On arrival, I was immediately told an upgrade would be granted at no additional cost, and my explanation that I really had no idea of a definite departure date was accepted very readily, with payment on the spot not required.

Motel itself was spotless, rooms are serviced daily. These are extremely well appointed with full kitchen and all appliances/dining items anyone could ever need.

Eventually my stay was fifteen days due to complications medically, but this stay proved 'easy' for me, quiet, a most friendly and understanding manager and I would not hesitate to stay there again, plus recommend the complex to prospective travellers.
