“Lovely service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

We arrived after 10pm and rang about an hour prior to see if there was a room as we were going to be arriving in Invercargill. The lady (owner) was very lovely on the phone and even told us to drive safely (as we were coming from the Catlins). I think the office was closed at that stage so it was lovely that she was going to wait for us and gave us directions. The room is huge, not modern but had a good-sized bed with a single bed as well, sofa, and table. The TV is small and furniture a bit of a mish-mash, like '70s style furniture and walls. The small, old TV was held up by a trolley that reminded me of my childhood days. Towels were average and not your plush towels one would like. in fact, the towels looked a bit worse for wear.

A big sized room but furniture and towels could do with an updated touch. But the service was great, had a lovely chat with the owner upon checking out and she informed us of what to go and see in the town.

Lovely stay. She even gave us a late checkout time. Good car parking.

Make sure you visit Queens Park too.

“A very welcoming place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

We felt very well looked after at this motel. Mahays was most friendly and helpful in providing sightseeing information and finding me a doctor when I was sick, She even brought us home baking for supper!
Our studio accommodation was clean and comfortable. It was roomy and had a sofa. All dishes and cutlery were taken away and washed by staff.
The only drawback was that there was only a microwave for cooking but in every other way it was a great place to stay.

“Loveliest host, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2010

The Ashlar is one of the friendliest motels I've stayed in: Mahays is very welcoming, and makes sure her guests have everything they need. She went the extra mile when we asked for a late check-out after we met family members off a very early flight and they needed to crash for a while before we continued on our way. The location is really good; close to the central city and gardens, and the units are set back from the road, so it's nice and quiet. Some of the rooms are of an older style, but they do have everything you need. Recommended.

“Smooth Sailing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2009

person found this review helpful

Was sent by work to Invercargill, who also frequently book myself and my clients into Ashlar Motel after several years of flawless experience with them I have finally decided to write a review.
Mahays goes the extra mile for both myself and my clients and she is forever bending over backwards. The incident that has finally spurred me to write this review was recently when my wife and children showed up to surprise me on our aniversary and though there were no vacancies in the motel, Mahays was kind enough to not only let the children stay in the family house with herself, but entertained them and fed them while I wined and dined my beautiful wife.

Just one of the few examples i have of the generous nature of Mahays. I always look forward to my stay here.

This motel was booked for a weekend away with freinds to go to a international sports event, on our arrival the owners where no where to be seen, after numerous phone calls and attemps to contact them we had no luck. We had to ring around and try and find another motel which we did but was not easy because of invercargill being fairly full due to the sports event on!! This cost us time and money!! We did get a call from the Ashler but not until two days later when we where told we had book friday and saturday nights which we hadnt it was saturday and sunday!! a big muck up was made by Ashler ,with still no apoglogy from them!! wont go back there ever
