Very dated property or our executive 1 bedroom was. Permanent person next door had TV on 24 hours could be heard in our room. Off street parking but nowhere to sit outside
Had a wonderful stay at The Colonial Motel. The lady at check-in was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean & neat with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this hotel and wil
Surprised at the comfort and huge space. Compared to most other budget accommodation hotels, this was rare find.
Quiet, comfortable and well equipped.
The building is of an older character, but that is not a negative.

What a Suprise
Don’t let the age of the exterior to this hotel fool you. The 3 bedroom apartment was huge for a motel, with all new modern fittings . The kitchen was well appointed with oven, hot plate, microwave, dishwasher & family size fridge. The lounge dinning was spacious with a huge tv that would be at home in a sports bar let alone a motel. The bedrooms were again large with decent beds that weren’t too hard. You also have an appointed laundry with washer dryer that was handy for our long exploring road trip around the South Island. I don’t think I’ve been more surprised with a room and travelling with my grown family of 5 I would definitely stay again
Big 2 bedroom apartment.
The staff had left heating on for our arrival so it was already warm inside which was very welcoming.
Also had option of netflix on the TV.
Very comfy stay.
Very clean and spacious. The beds had electric blankets. We only stayed one night and didn't use the kitchen but it was well equipped. The water tower was within walking distance. Will definitely book a room here again if we happen to be in this area.
My rating takes into consideration the other places i have stayed, both in Invercargill and other NZ locations.
Good points:
* Friendly, welcoming staff
* Heating was on to ensure i arrived to a cosy room.
* very cost effective
* impeccably clean
* comfortable bed
* free off-street parking right at each unit
* not too near any busy roads
* well equipped with kitchen utensils/crockery
* complimentary cookies, hot chocolate in the beverage selection
* electronic fob access, self locking door
The not-so-great:
* parking is challenging if you are not confident at reversing
*motel itself is functional but extremely dated.
* rooms are a bit tight. I’m an average-sized kiwi but i found it a little challenging, particularly in the bedroom and bathroom.
* concrete block walls make for an extremely chilly night during winter
* bathroom fan is extremely loud and on a timer (to be fair, i was pre-warned about this by the staff, but i wasn't prepared for HOW loud!
If clean and cheap is what you want, then this is the place for you! If you are a motel snob (and I admit to being one) then I would suggest looking elsewhere.
Top tip: don't turn the heater off, as the temperature plummets during winter. Use the remote to turn it down and leave it on overnight.
