An older hotel in the centre of Invercargill. Great location and easily walkable to shops and restaurants. The room is clean and tidy, all be it a little older. The bathroom has been updated. The carpark is around the corner from the hotel, undercover and free. We have stayed here before and will stay again, so that’s a good recommendation.
