“Lovely Hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

We stayed for 3 nights with three other couples.
This is a typical old style hotel with all the charm and wear and tear that old pubs have. We found each of our rooms differently decorated with varying amounts of style.
I would advise to specifically ask for the type of room you would like. We had a very large bedroom with separate lounge area which was decorated in antique style, but overlooking a carpark. Friends had cramped 1960's style of rooms, and one couple chose to move rooms. Service from the owners was excellent - very friendly and the breakfasts were great - good variety of cereals, yoghurts etc and then cooked breakfast. Lots of stairs, so its not for the infirmed or immobile.

“Stunning service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

The service was great, the rooms very nicely appointed (Definitely go for the upstairs suites!), and warm and comfortable - and the atmosphere was great. Breakfast was generous, and we felt very 'victorian' in the surroundings and setting. (Now, about the weather ... !)

Room Tip: Upstairs is quaint and spacious.

“great hosts, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Our hosts were excellent and looked after our every need. The location is central, easy to find and easy to park the car nearby.
The room was good but as the hotel was full we did not have an en-suite but the price reflected this.

“A beautiful hallmark of Invercargill's past”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

This hotel had a great personal feel to it thanks to the very friendly hosts. There was plenty of information on the hotels history. The rooms (VIP room) were well appointed with plenty of space, beautiful leather armchairs and a large bathroom. Peter even gave us a hand up two flights of stairs with all our luggage.
There was a microwave supplied which I though was odd as there were no cutlery/crockery available but this did not subtract from the room at all.
The free washing machine was a nice touch and very much appreciated. Unfortunately we didn't find somewhere nice in town for dinner and then breakfast in the hotel was middle of the road.
Very friendly hosts and great value made this stay a pleasure!

Room Tip: the VIP suite was lovely, well worth the climb up two flights of stairs

“Great hosts, comfortable hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

We arrived in Invercargill late afternoon and checked in to the hotel. Rose and Peter were very welcoming and showed us round and gave us tips on where to eat. We were heading to the rugby the next night and Peter very kindly gave us a lift to the stadium and back again. The hotel is a short walk to the town centre and the room was comfortable with a great shower.

A good spot to stay in Invercargill.
