The property was in an excellent location, very clean and well appointed and dog friendly. We had a wonderful stay with everything being above expectations. Thank you to Gordon and Viv.
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.
Excellent facilities, very clean, warm comfortable. Beds very comfortable. Easy walking distance to Queens Park. This is the third time my husband and I have stayed here. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely stay at this property. Enjoyed Queens park very much. The park has a fabulous rose garden. We only had to walk down two houses and cross the street and we were in the park. Nice location.
Second time staying there and there's a reason for that. Great place, very comfortable, and awesome location. Love those early morning walks around Queen's Park.
We loved staying at this home, had everything we needed, warm and comfortable. Walk cross the road and you are in a fab park and a lovely cafe. Gordon was an awesome host with great communication and made our stay very relaxed.
This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting family.
Home away from home,house was of good size, beds are very comfortable and convenient location.
Will stay again, with no hesitation
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.
Clean, well-appointed, comfortable - itâs like staying at a friendâs house, where the friend does the work to make you feel welcome. Itâs in a quiet street and the garden is lovely.
Everything about it is done properly and well. And did I mention clean?
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 !
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 !
