It was part of a nostalgia trip as one of us had worked on the joinery many years ago.
Pros:

We enjoyed access to the restaurant with tasty meals.

Cons:

Bathroom spaces were small. Overhead bathroom heater pull cord was down to one strand so we left that alone.

Hotel block below average, although close to road traffic noise was ok, overpriced for the room
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

Not what i expected after reading reviews, my mistake was i didn’t realise that the complex was huge and the accommodation was spread out. $170 a night i expected middle range however i would put the hotel blocks ( seperate from main complex) below average. Smelt damp on arrival disappeared after room warmed up. Beds ok. Clean room.

Reliable accommodation in Invercargill
Pros:

Good heating and comfortable bed, hood room service from restaurant.

Cons:

Just check your bill for room service as someone had tried to add quite a big food and beverage bill to my room, it was all sorted as it didn't have my signature on it, but just check your bill as thus can happen at bigger establishments with many room and guests.
