Top Waianiwa Hotel Reviews

Kelvin Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked a small room - they are small but functional, with the bathroom being almost as big as the room :) Very clean and comfortable with all you need for your stay. Great for a one night stay and very central."

Comfort Inn Tayesta

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for 3 nights in October 2026. The room was very clean and comfortable and I appreciated the electric blanket at night. It was located very close to Woolies supermarket, only a few blocks from the city centre and Queens Park. The staff were also very friendly and helpful."

Modern Bach with a Rural view

10/10 Excellent

"Place was great. Easy and convenient - clean and warm. Comfy beds and loved the 11 am check out so not rushed. Great shower would definitely go again. "

Tower Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Our two bedroom unit was spotlessly clean, spacious, and warm. It was an old house converted to two flats, now motel units. As there were 4 of us (2 couples) we found that the toilet should be a separate room! And mirrors in the bedrooms would have been handy. I think that this unit will be upgraded to match the other units of the motel complex - which are exceptional - we’ve stayed in those before. The staff were very helpful."

The Langlands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay and great food."

Distinction Invercargill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, quite new and rooms very well appointed. Only issue we had was we could hear people throwing weights around in the Gym at 6am in the morning from our room which was directly above the gym. Designer’s may have forgot that part of sound proofing. Restaurant in Hotel is excellent."

Bavarian Motel

8/10 Good

"Good location, lots of space, had everything we needed on our budget."

City Court

10/10 Excellent

"The"

Colonial Motel Invercargill
