The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the room was exceptionally spacious and spotless. The water pressure was amazing — after a full day of exploring, the thing we looked forward to most was coming back to the room for a hot shower to wash away all the fatigue.
I would highly recommend this motel to anyone visiting Invercargill.
