Brian and Anne Scott are convivial hosts. Brian gives lots of good advice on where to eat and what to see in Invercargill.

Enjoyable stay. Booked in as two families, we had 2 units connected by an adjoining door. Rooms were very clean and tidy, beds were fine, rooms were warm, and they had sky tv. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the price was reasonable and the motel was close to town and the local.

First off Anne and Brian are amazing and the best, most welcoming, giving hosts I have come across in a long time. Secondly, the room/units are fantastic! They are spacious, warm, and great... More

The motel is very simple, not to close to town either so you'll need a vehicle. The owners were very friendly and keen to talk about the upcoming rugby matches ;) Free internet and parking included.
