Hostels in Southland, New Zealand

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.

The hotel is conveniently located near Real NZ, making it easy to join various local tours. Parking is right outside the room, and there's a kitchen where you can easily cook noodles. It's also just a few minutes' drive to the large supermarket, Fresh Choice, which is really handy.

Love this place very much. Very clean and spacious room, there were elderly friendly toilet & bathroom ( we had another bathroom with bathtub). The kitchen is well equipped. The view overlooking the lake was superb. Jetty to glowworms just in walking distance (1km). Numerous restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance as well (1-1.5km). You can just park your car in the apartment and walk slowly along the lake to enjoy the stunning scenery.

I would have given this a 5-star rating. However, I deducted one star due to staff behaviour and a fire alarm that went off at 5:00 a.m., requiring guests to evacuate the hotel. Additionally, the staff could benefit from some customer service training, particularly in showing warmth and empathy toward guests. When we visited the front desk at 12:30 p.m. to enquire about an early check-in, the staff member was not at all understanding or accommodating. She bluntly say “No” and kept looking at her monitor without any reason.

There is a parking space, no extra bed, no breakfast, the hotel is located in the park.

The room is big, the bathroom is big, very clean, and the location is very close to the city center. There is a supermarket and gas station nearby, which is very convenient. It is also very quiet at night and you will be woken up by the sunshine in the morning.

Although the equipment is relatively old, the price is relatively low. As long as the hygiene and service are good, you are basically satisfied.

Couldn t had been any better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our 2 rooms had everything we needed , very cosy and warm . Very easy check in and check out ; I had emergency business to attend to , an the Lady at reception was ever so helpful....great shower pressure. great beds .....Washing machines very easy to use and located . Thank you All was great .....

The reception staff were very warm and friendly and even gave us a bottle of milk. We had requested a family room with a tower view, and the location was perfect – we could see the tower directly from our living room. Queen's Park is also just across the street. The only downside was the cooktop in the kitchenette; it was either too fast or very slow to heat up, quite old-fashioned, and difficult to use. Additionally, the motel requires guests to park their car directly outside their own room, and parking in other spots is not permitted.

Our family enjoyed our two days stay on this cosy small town on the visit to Milford Sound Cruise . We had the opportunity to taste local NZ foods without much disappointment. The minus point was we booked for 3 single beds room but was given 1 queen and 1 single , not matching the product description.
