Raija (10/5): - Tilava huoneisto, jossa oli pieni keittiö. Astioita oli kahdelle henkilölle ja ruuanlaittovälineitä oli riittävästi aterian valmistamiseen. Auton saa pysäköityä huoneiston eteen. Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Jim (9/5): Great place to stay in a quiet area of town. - Second time we have stayed at the Colonial and we were very happy with it. Lovely helpful person at reception. Room was spacious and very comfortable. It is a 25 minute walk to the main centre of the town. Nothing
Bev (8/5): Adequate but a bit tired looking - It was handy for our needs Comfortable bed It was a bit tired, needed a bit of upgrading Heater didn’t work in bathroom a some paint peeling from the ceiling in living area.
Angela (10/5): Comfortable overnight stay - Cute little place

Alison (9/5): - thoughtfully and well presented in a great location
James (5/5): Functional - It was an end terrace unit set across the road from motel. So a big bonus on available space. It even had a garden area. It didn't feel comfortable as very dated by furniture.

Yvonne (7/5): -
Jordy. (10/5): - Loved the space and staff assistance Nothing

Craig (8/5): - Clean and tidy. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Tara (10/5): - Our apartment was super modern, very clean with everything we needed as a family of five staying here. We were very pleased with our apartment.
William (8/5): Comfortable and convenient - Comfortable and convenient Nothing, all good
Sidney (7/5): A solid, basic 2-bedroom motel unit with good kitchen facilities (except for the fridge). - Our unit in the Colonial Motel was fine in most ways, few complaints. The unit is a bit “tired”, but not horribly so. Parts of the unit had been recently renovated (e.g., the flooring), while other parts looked like they were stuck in the 1930s. Not decrepit at all, just 1930s-looking. Overall we were perfectly happy with our stay there. There was one major shortcoming, and a couple of minor ones. The major one was the refrigerator. It is a half-fridge, quite new (good), but sitting on the floor and with the freezer above and fridge part below. You have to get down on your hands and knees to access the fridge area, which is the part that is most used. Extremely frustrating. At the very least the whole thing should be placed up on a base to raise it up 3 or 4 feet. Better, replace it with a small-profile full-height fridge, which would fit the space perfectly. The other thing we both noticed is that the shower floor is quite slippery. With no grab handles, it could be rather dangerous. We later discovered that there is a rubber mat for the shower floor to reduce the slipping, but it’s tucked away under the sink and we never thought to look for it (until too late). It would be better to have the rubber mat out beside the shower, or perhaps a note on the shower that there is a mat available. A third, minor detail was that there were no salt and pepper shakers. The host provided a couple of paper packets of salt and pepper, like you’d get in a greasy spoon restaurant. Surely you can do better. The final thing concerns the oven. It took us 15 minutes pushing various poorly-labelled buttons to get it to work. A one-paragraph note in the guest manual would solve it, but there was nothing in the manual about it.
Elisabeth (8/5): Alles super - Grosses Zimmer mit Küche, alles Nötige da. Heizung gut, sogar die Betten konnten mit Heizmatten beheizt werden. Im Bad hatte es ebenfalls ein Heizkörper. Auto konnte vor dem Eingang parkiert werden. War nichts zu bemängeln
Bettina (6/5): Für eine Nacht okay! - Viel Platz, Küche sehr gut ausgestattet. Ruhige Lage, Restaurants und Supermarkt fussläufig erreichbar, Personal sehr freundlich Die Einrichtung ist schon ein bisschen sehr in die Jahre gekommen, kein Feuermelder, offener Sicherungskasten über dem Bett im Schlafzimmer 😏
Helen (5/5): Comfy bed. Needs updated. - Clean beds, comfy. Plenty of space. Friendly staff- replaced fire alarm which didn’t work when tested quickly. Tired decor and bathroom needs renovated. Cracks in wall and wallpaper peeling, cracked window in toilet. Ants in kitchen area.
Dreamer13272608342 (10/5): Great place to stay for our family! - We really enjoyed our stay at Colonial Motel for our first visit to Invercargill! We are a family of 6 and it was wonderful they had a unit big enough to fit us all in! The unit was so modern inside, a well equipped kitchen, a washer/dryer, 3 good sized bedrooms and a big open lounge/dining with a massive TV! It was so close to everything and easy to get all the places we visited. We had a fuss-free check-in and check-out due to the effective and prompt communication. The only thing we weren't used to was the shower/toilet area, it was one open area so was constantly wet on the floor, we put two towels down and that helped. Other than that, we had everything we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay. Nga mihi!!
Griess (7/5): -
Fili (5/5): It was ok, definitely cold. Probably wouldn’t stay in that same apartment again. - Main bed was too hard. The apartment we had was too cold you could feel the freezing cold come through the windows. The apartment we had was old compared to all the other apartments we’ve had in the past.
