6. OK Holiday Unit #6 - Queenstown Holiday Apartment

Queenstown City Centre

"Great location however it was the only bonus. Cleanliness just hit the par, appliances also just hit the par. However couches and overall decor was sub par with big tears in them. Bathroom facilities were also underwhelming, shower not suitable for taller people. As said, location is one of the only things going for it aside from parking. As a bookabach owner myself, don’t like to leave a negative review, nevertheless this left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall very disappointing for the money...

Fiordland Discovery

Milford Sound

10/10 Excellent

This was easily the highlight of a trip full of highlights. The staff was incredible, made us feel like royalty. The food was top notch, and the boat was breathtaking. Our original trip to Milford Sound had to be moved to Doubtful Sound due to a road outage. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our trip went uninterrupted. I would recommend this cruise even at twice the price. An unforgettable experience. Thank you to the captain, owners, and all the staff.

Tower Lodge Motel

Richmond

10/10 Excellent

Tower Lodge afforded us a great starting out point for our exploration of Invercargill. It's right across from the attractive water tower (hence, its name), down the street from the beautiful botanical gardens, and near great restaurants. We were here only one night in advance of our trip to Stewart I. the next day, but think the town is worth another visit someday. Owner is especially nice and helpful. She readily called places to get information for us, helped us locate things on maps, etc....

Balmoral Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

Solo traveling, I decided last minute to stay in Invercargill. The saint who was working the reception stayed late on her Sunday (St. Patty’s Day) to make sure I got in ok. Even had the room heated and had a biscuit waiting for me. I have to say I was overly impressed with amenities! What a place! Full kitchen with silver/glasswear. 2 smart TVs, lofted bedroom. It was truly better than many so called ‘luxury hotels’ I’ve stayed at, and the value for money of my stay was unmatched. I will be...

A multi-story motel with a parking lot, a visible entrance, and a signboard.

Townsman Motor Lodge

Invercargill City Centre

10/10 Excellent

I have traveled many places and used many hotels over the years. Among them, it was ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd among the truly memorable places. In particular, what is comparable to other places is that the owner runs everything himself, of course, with well-trained staff, he is friendly, clean, etc., and does a thorough job of welcoming customers. The convenient thing about staying here was that everything a traveler needed was nearby. I had a very comfortable rest as the city center,...
