Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (6/5): Traditional affordable motel - This is an older type motel. Our room was spacious and traditional in content and condition. The manager was friendly and helpful and put the heating on in advance of us checking in.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hosts were amazing, they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we wanted. Very pleasant and accommodating couple.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We liked the easy access to town, the property just needed a little bit of an upgrade but the service makes up for it. The couple were Awesome to get along with. I guarantee with a little bit more upgrade, this will be a 5star easily!!
• Avinash (10/5): Invercargill stay - Needed a place to sleep, it worked perfectly. Great host.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly staff, perfect room for our stay thank you
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff - directed to a nearby restaurant which was very good.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Traffic noise was a real problem went late started early

• Baolong (10/5): - enough space for family and very kindly staff
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location to amenities and good information of sight seeing places given by owners
• Glenn (10/5): Excellent service - Great little motel. Has all that you need. The manager Wendy was so lovely and welcoming.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great - Very nice large rooms close to town very clean Friendly staff ..would stay there again in a flash
• Susan (8/5): Comfortable well equipped basic motel apartment - Basic but comfortable apartment, not just motel room, with bedroom and separate lounge/ kitchen area of good size. Not serviced daily but all extra needs provided by very friendly and delightful owner/manager. Suited our needs perfectly as in Invercargill for 4day classic motorbike event. Nice to have garden, bbq, and laundry with line and dryer.
• Judi (8/5): Everything we needed - and a nice little extra! - We needed a dog friendly motel. Nothing more. We got a dog friendly motel, a nice garden to exercise them in, a large, comfortable unit (With a killer shower). Fabulous family filling in for the owners while they were away. My 6yr old grandson was greeted with the offer of some time with their 6yr old child and his massive bucket of Lego. He had a great time! I wouldn’t want to recommend Garden Grove Motel too often - I might not be able to get back in if they become too popular!! It’s a great area, quiet, dog friendly, child friendly, clean and tidy.
• Paula (10/5): Lovely comfortable stay - Great stay at Garden Grove Motel, owner lovely and helpful. I wasn't there much as it was only at night to sleep, but very comfortable. It was lovely on the freezing cold day to come back late at night to unit to find the heater on and the curtains all drawn, so it was very warm & cozy when I arrived.
• Alamein (10/5): Relevant for what we required - A nice and clean little motel with all the amenities we required. This is a lovely place for those who respect other peoples property and other guests.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly and very nice to deal with. Clean and tidy units.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good find - Enjoyed our nights stay and were made to feel very welcome. I would recommend staying here to others.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Older, but comfortable and clean. - An older establishment, but one that was clean, well-equipped and spacious in a time where most of the lower-to-mid priced motels are cramped and generally not as well set up.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant overnight stay. Staff very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was an excellent stay. My wife and I had no car available, so Helen (who is in charge of the motel) called one of her friends who came down from Dunedin. Helen and her friend took us for a very nice walk in the Bluff area. She did much more for us than one can expect.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was our first time in Queenstown and to have a nice place to stay in makes the whole experience great.
• Bob (8/5): Nice and cosy with a full kitchen - The owners were very helpful. Roomy and comfortable.
• Rajiv (8/5): - execellent
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Very average greeting after a wotif booking shambles that resulted in my booking being cancelled ( without my knowledge until arrival ) staff unhelpful and to be honest a bit rude. Budget motel in need of a tidy up outside (cobweb in doorway) dated inside but bed was fine. Wouldn't recommend to a friend!
