Lovely house in a great location when in Invercargill. Right next to the beautiful Queens gardens which has a lot of areas to explore, yet a short drive to the city centre and other attractions.

Outstanding Invercargill Stay

We would give a 6 star rating to this property if we could. Immaculate, beautiful inside and out. The beds were really comfy, as was the living room furniture. Very well appointed and spacious. The front deck faces a quiet street and overlooks a magnificent garden. The property is located 700 meters from downtown, and is a lovely walk. Highly recommend a stay here.

Great house to stay in

House was lovely, clean tidy and warm. Invercargill didn't gift us with lovely weather so it was nice to have a bit a room to move - rather than being stuck in a little motel with kids! Will definitely be back, so great that its right across from queens park, kids loved it!

What a lovely clean place

We thoroughly enjoyed spending our last couple of days in NZ at Gordon and Viv’s property. The house is clean and well-equipped with everything you may need for your stay and much bigger than I thought it would be. Our doggie also enjoyed sniffing in the beautiful garden and in the park across the road. Gordon and Vic are also very helpful and responsive hosts. Thanks so much!

Warm and homely place, very comfortable with good sunlight. Quiet street but very close to town. Good little fenced garden area to contain a small dog, and very close to Queen’s Park for walks. This place had everything we needed for a week’s stay, and was a very pleasant experience. I would stay here again next time I am in Invercargill

About the host

Hosted by gordot285

Host profile image
Gordon and Viv have been in the Invercargill area since 1994 . Gordon was born in UK and met Viv on her Overseas Experience ( O E ) at a barn dance in Oxford UK !
Viv's family is from Cheviot North Canterbury and so after getting married on the hill country family home in 1990 and settling back to Devon UK the offer of a job when visiting in 1993 was accepted ! Gordon worked for MAF( Agriculture New Zealand ) from Invercargill and stayed with Agriculture New Zealand working from Gore as well .
In 1997 they purchased their slice of heaven ( 37 Acres ) in Hedgehope 25 minutes north of Invercargill . Their two adult Kids (!) Ellen and Ben enjoyed a country style up bringing . Ellen was born in Torquay Devon and Ben Invercargill .
Every 3 years they would go back to the UK and break the journey up in Los Angeles so Disney land was a great treat !
As a family they have travelled to many places in the world and got to understand what's important to travellers . The essentials are a clean tidy set up with comfortable mattresses !! They have put these experiences to good use in setting up two BOOKABACH houses in Te Anau and have now added this Invercargill property to their Portfolio . They recognise the uniqueness that Southland has to offer and now with the Auckland - Invercargill direct flights they knew this was the perfect opportunity to offer a clean and tidy place to stay at a new gateway to the Deep South of New Zealand.
They are really pleased with this house and look forward to sharing it with you !

Why they chose this property

This is so close to the city centre and all the amenities on offer . Close by is the The Bill Richardson Museum , Burt Munro and Motorcycle museum , the lovely Queens Park and the10 pin bowling alley to name a few . Stadium Southland is always busy with events too . For the business people this property is a short walk back into town with the comfort of home and many eateries so close by !

What makes this property unique

Free wifi .

FANTASTIC LOCATION !

You will love it !
