We recently spent three nights at Monarch and were very pleasantly surprised. The owners have been upgrading and the renovating and doing a very good job of it. Rooms were spacious, bathroom facilities more than adequate but more importantly, the place was absolutely spotless. Service at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, offers were made when we did... More

The unit was very clean, warm and cosy. The kitchenette had everything we needed for our family of 4. It was our base for 3 nights and served this purpose well. The owners couldn't be more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Would happily stay there again More

And choose Monarch Motel to stay was a wise choice. The owners are extremely helpful and polite, and the rooms are very comfortable. It's a bit far from the city centre, but Invercargillis almost...

I recently spent a few weeks at the Monarch motel. It was a business trip researching a move to Invercargill. I cannont offer enough praise of the rooms, cost, location and most importantly the quality of service and friendly service from Karl and Kerry Mariu. It does look a little dated outside, But, everyroom is renovated to a high standard.... More
