The property is very run down and needs a good clean up. The towels were wet, there were dirty cups provided and nothing really felt clean. Carpets need a clean as they are smelly. I had booked two nights but could not stay the second. It was disappointing.

I made several phone calls and left messages if someone could contact me regarding an early check in. I had no replies to my messages and ended up staying elsewhere. And can't even get a refund!!!. Very disappointed.

Had a good sleep and shower. Left a library book in the room. Called them about it and followed up with a call to me that they had found it. Very helpful.

It was central to city, lost internet on day 2 of 4. Many areas though clean were in need of a spruce up.

Not much to say. We could not stay there as I entered an incorrect date (by one day) and Wotif and/or the venue refused to alter the date. LOUSY service; never going to touch Wotif again, and do not care a rat’s-arse about Central City Backpackers. We found much better, more flexible and accommodating lodgings elsewhere in Invercargill.

The camping park was in a fantastic location for us. Close to everything we needed and easy to access main highways when we needed to come and go. The kitchen/lounge facilities were really clean, tidy and user friendly and the attached communal bathroom/shower facilities were as well. Our motel unit was as clean and tidy as it could be but it absolutely stunk of stale cigarette smoke which had seeped into all fabrics in the room. No amount of opening windows and creating draughts through the room could ever lift that smell. As non-smokers we therefore found it difficult to feel comfortable in the motel unit itself.

Don't go there
I was picked up at the airport (free airport shuttle). On arrival at the Camping Park the woman in the office did not acknowledge me or speak,let alone smile. I was handed a key for cabin 3 but not taken to the cabin in the dark - I arrived after 6pm. The key did not fit No 3, or in fact, any of the cabins. Luckily the manager was back in the office so he finally came and assisted me. He ascertained there was something wrong with the lock and the smoke alarm fell off the roof in that cabin. I was moved to another cabin. When I inquired about transport to the airport in the morning I was told I would have to get a taxi - the manager was off to Queenstown in the morning. Shabby furnishings and mixture of odd blankets on the bed. Would not stay again.

The "silver single" is a room in a 5-10 year old shed with un-insulated neighbouring room walls. Water and bathrooms are across a gravel driveway. Definitely not worth $90 - this was a case of "any port in a storm". The consolation was great service on arrival and a handy walk to town.

Great Camping in Invergargill
I'm not usually a camper however the cabin was small but clean and comfortable. The public facilities were also modern, clean and user friendly. Close to the city centre, walking distance to 'Motorcycle Mecca' . Probably a ride to the 'Transport Museum' . Good spot!

広い敷地
受付で少し待たされたが、広い敷地のなかにある独立したキャビンを2棟借りた。 トイレが少し遠かったが、キッチンは道具が揃い使いやすかった。 wifiの入りは使用者が多いためか悪かったので、早朝使用した。

車利用なら便利
客室とトイレ，シャワー，キッチンが別建屋なので一旦屋外へ出ないと行けないのが不便． キャンプ場にプレハブで寝室をつけた感じ．隣との壁が薄いので話声が聞こえる． キャンピングカーで利用している人が多い． シャワーの温水が７．５分で止まり，外へ出て再スタートしないといけない．

川沿いの静かなコテージ
訪れた時は偶々雨だったが、その雨も情緒を感じさせる広々とした庭があるホテルです。 ただ惜しむらくは、近くのダムから伸びる大量の高圧線が残念でした。

what the...
You can use hot shower just 7m30s. I made a prepayment reservation. However, when I checked in, I cheated to make a local payment. That pre-settlement was a deposit. When I presented a voucher that I paid in advance, they admitted it was a mistake. Why does such an intended mistake only happen to foreigners? 이집 체크인할때 사전결제 했는데 그건 보증금이라고 돈 내라고 밑장빼기 시도합니다. 돈 냈다는 바우쳐 가져가세요.

Hi It was a truly an honest mistake because it did not reflect in the system. The staff was in training. We did not have the intention to cheat. Even if you did not come back we would have known the mistake when we do your day end and returned the money back to you.
