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.

Overall, the hotel looked quite clean, but there was a stain on my bed sheet; I'm not sure if it was impossible to wash out or what. The hotel's location is very convenient; it's within walking distance of the firefly viewing area.

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.

The staff are generally friendly however the service is not up to expectation. We are suppose to checkin at 2/3pm, and had a confirmation called from the hotel in the morning. However, when I arrived at 4pm, I was told that it’s not ready and they need till 5:30pm to have the room ready. The place was under renovation and it’s messy and dusty, but the room is nice and clean. Overall it’s good with nice view.

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.
