The hotel is right by Lake Te Anau, just across the road, offering stunning lake views as soon as you step out. Parking is convenient, and the room size is medium, perfectly adequate and clean for a tourist stay. There's no elevator, so carrying heavy luggage upstairs was a bit strenuous. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety of food, and the restaurant is nice. The hotel is about 700-800 meters from the Chinese restaurants in town, which is reasonably convenient.
The hotel is very new and the rooms are quite standard. The Indian lady at the front desk was very casual. She said she would change the milk bottle and record the room number. No one was there in the middle of the night. Ctrip was very helpful and handled it immediately after communication. It is very close to the Fisheries Bureau. You can go to Bluff to try to get an abalone knife. The wind and waves were too strong that day and I couldn't catch it. But remember to return the abalone knife to the Fisheries Bureau.
Please inform customers before you change the rooms for them. I had booked mine for the bath, then you gave me a different room on arrival, not even explaining why you had to change the rooms. So I had to see staff at the reception again after checking to sort it out. In the end, i got the room with the bath.I am sorry to say that your place smelt musty that is not right for accommodation for the health and safety reasons. I have also found mould in the bathroom you might want to look at. Hope all gets sorted soon. Thanks. Best.
The rooms are well-equipped and spacious, with three bedrooms and a living room, offering eight beds in total. The sheets are clean and soft. Laundry and drying facilities are convenient, and there's private parking available, with the added bonus of car wash access.
There was a Chinese lady at the front desk who was very enthusiastic and spoke Chinese. She helped us check in and introduced a famous restaurant nearby that specializes in oysters. It happened that the oysters were of particularly good quality on the day we went (the price was slightly higher than usual). The hotel has only six rooms and was fully booked on the day of check-in. The room facilities were very new and the room had a beautiful view. I felt like I could stare out the window all day because there was almost no one nearby. I could open the window and look at the stars at night and fall asleep. We missed breakfast the next morning, and another foreign lady at the front desk prepared extra milk, cereal, fruit and coffee for us. It's definitely worth staying for one night.
The room was small being disappointing from other good IBIS Hotels have had bigger. In this case the ceiling had mould which is not good at all being left there. I should have asked to change rooms but stayed in it with little window viewing as well along with ventilation. The hallway stinks of cooked Indian food they need to put in air fresheners to take that bad ordour away. The staff were friendly and amenities were very plentiful. Suggest to have bigger bowls and cups being very little to eat from. Car parking is a problem at this place either on the street paying for it from 8:00am to 5:00pm or over in a mall car park for $10.00 a night. So factor that in if staying here. Better to get a place that provides it as it was a hassle to be up at 8:00am to go downstairs and pay for this each morning. Overall for money and value feel could have done better else where.
This hotel has slippers, it is relatively clean, and valet parking is very convenient. The breakfast is really average, maybe because there are fewer people living, and there is a charge for frying an omelette.
Was priced very cheap - room clean but very dated , camp kitchen needed a good scrubbing, broken amenities and no washing machine working - BUT hospitality was great and restaurant attached gave us one of the nicest and cheapest meals we had - took some famous sausages to cook away with us.
We were in hostel so was cheapest accommodation they had - 4 people room was only $100
Very convenient location, a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants and the lake. Spacious room and comfortable bed. The terrasse was a plus as we could sit outside. Car park free just outside the door which was super convenient too.
Amazing

GGuest UserThe main reason to go to Invercargill is to check in at the world's southernmost Starbucks. Etc. The hotel parking lot is in the public parking lot diagonally opposite. You need to register your license plate at the front desk before you can park, but it is free. There is a shopping mall in Invercargill and the world's southernmost Starbucks near the hotel. There is also a Queen's Park to visit. The town is not big and not crowded and very quiet.

GGuest UserAlthough the equipment is relatively old, the price is relatively low. As long as the hygiene and service are good, you are basically satisfied.
TTengWMWe had a spacious room, room has fantastic sea view, room is 1 minute walk to the beach, can see dolphins in the evening. Motel near to the Penguin walk area and few hiking trails.Kitchen has stove, hot plate but no oven. Only knew the washer available on common area after check out. As our car break down, friendly host allowed us to use the common toilet and offer us drinks while waiting for technical.
AAquaEdYVery interesting house, we were arranged in a carriage, yes, a room converted from a train carriage, very unique.
We arrived very late the night before and couldn't find the way to check in. The hotel manager also drove to guide us to check in after work. The next morning, he also prepared a very authentic and delicious homemade breakfast for us.
This is the best room I have stayed in during this trip to New Zealand!
