Carol went above and beyond to make me feel at home while I traveled through here solo. Everything felt very clean, and the bed was especially nice and cozy. Would definitely stay here again on return trips to Invercargill.

Great stay and communication with hosts. Carol did everything she could to meet our needs. Lodge was clean warm, fresh smelling and very well equipped for our extended family group. Beds were comfortable and warm. Great accommodation for a larger group with good spacious to chat and socialise. Thanks so much.

Just happened to be within walking distance of the family get-together, and what a great find. Great Host, comfortable room with ensuite, and just a home away from home. Can't recommend it enough. May many more find this great place.

After staying at Lovett lodge a few times now for business I have bookmarked this accommodation in my 'first choice' list ! Clean, cosey and comfortable, I always know there will be a smile on arrival and a " drive safe" when I leave.

We enjoyed the homey feel. The lodge is clean and the hosts: Carol and Lindsay were very friendly. Carol was very helpful with tips of places to visit. The breakfast was great. In the evening, we could lounge in the living room and make tea or coffee. We stayed 2 nights at the beginning of our stay in Invercargill and decided to stayed another 3 nights at the end of our trip because we needed to relax. Carol makes you feel like family.

We booked the lodge for our stay in Invercargill. There were 8 people in our group and we stayed for 4 nights. The lodge was clean and tidy and the rooms were a really good size. Some of the rooms have ensuites and they are also a really good size. All the facilities were great, large lounge area ideal for groups to gather and a smaller lounge area for getting away. The arrangements for breakfast are ideal with a good selection of cereals and fruit along with yogurt and milk. Add to this toast with a selection of spreads what more could you need. The hosts and staff were very friendly and helpful and we would certainly recommend this as a place to stay. Great off street parking available all the time.

A team of employees stayed for a number of weeks to complete a construction project in Invercargill. The facilities are great, location for work was perfect.. and Carol was a friendly host who went above and beyond. The rooms were big enough to share, the lodge is spotless and very comfortable after a full days work. It was nice to met new people who shared their travel stories in the kitchen, and the size of the lounge was more than enough to cater for everyone: either socializing or preparing work for the next day.

I booked to stay at the above lodge for four nights, as the lodge was full of cyclist and I was going to be the only female I was asked if I would like to move to their apartment accomodation. It was as I stated above in the title above. Carroll went out of her way to make me feel at home and comfortable, even asked me what type of sheets I would like on my bed which I thought was lovely. Great value for money would stay again, and thoroughly recommend this lodge.
