I was lucky enough to stay at the Golden Leaf for 6 weeks when I arrived in Invercargill. I stayed in a two bed apartment, it was brilliant, really homely.
The lounge was just like home, nice comfy sofa, great tv with crystal clear picture. The kitchen was well stocked and spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable, I found loads of storage space in the apartment.
The bathroom was a great size and again very clean.
The best part about the Golden Leaf are the owners. They are the most amazing people, very warm, friendly and have great local knowledge. Nothing is to much trouble, they really are just a great couple and go out of their way to make your stay is as easy as possible.
Golden Leaf is very close to the town, but not so close you are in the middle of it all, and is also right next to Queens park, which in the summer will give you endless things to do.
All in all Golden Leaf is a great place in a great part of town owned by fantastic people. You will not find better.
