A lovely motel which was more like an apartment with everything we needed. Robin was terrific and friendly. Highly recommend the motel.

Close to town Comfy bed, very clean, and can see the owners have put a lot of work and thought into making the motel units a great place to stay. Hosts super friendly and very welcoming.

Nothing at all

The service was excellent. The facilities were remarkably good. Very comfortable indeed.

Good central location. Modern with v good fittings etc.

Really nice place

When the wind blew, it sounded like there was loose iron on the roof above Room 3. Apart from that I would stay there again.

Great location, generously sized rooms

Somewhat dark lounge (lighting and where sited in property)

Very clean unit and very attentive staff, spacious and comfortable unit

Loved how spacious the room was and the weighted blankets were a dream

When we turn on the TV the volume went super loud regardless of whether it was turned down before turning it off.. like it resets back to a high volume

We stayed for 5 nights and found the unit to be clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and professional, a convenience store was within walking distance which made it handy for any shopping top ups. Overall we had a pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Invercargill

Great place to stay

Such a lovely warm welcome from Kay! Great spot for business travelers and I was super warm and comfy in my studio room.

Great place to stay, room had a spa bath and spacious. Quiet despite being on the main road and the bed was excellent. Both slept well in the King size bed, two separate mattresses on the base made for a big difference. Invercargill motels can be chilly at times but this was pleasantly warm all the time. Nice touch from Robin to close the windows late afternoon and turn the heaters on. You probably need wheels to go anywhere from the place but it is only a short distance to Town and a brief walk up the road to Transport World. We spent five days there and it was very pleasant, recommended.

Owners where Amazing and room was amazingly nice 👌

Fabulous stay, highly recommend.

Lovely clean rooms comfortable bed. Good shower.

Clean and tidy, spacious, easily accessible to the shops and other places we where going. Pillows to soft for me light shone in through glass door at night from street light but solved problem with a bath towel over the door.

Booked on last minute and was lucky to get a room . We had a renovated room, which was absolutely immaculate. Lovely lounge area , large bathroom with all the essentials, kitchen had everything you need , comfy bed & pillows . We had the room next to the busy main road but after about 9pm went quiet & didn't disturb us. A quick 5 minute drive to the centre of Invercargill, which has many restaurants, takeaways & bars . Definitely recommend as a stopover if travelling between Dunedin & Te Anau.

was surprised to find extra large bed, plenty of room and the bathroom was a pleasure, full bath and separate shower plus toilet, plenty of space. very impressed actually with the whole room

I can't recommend this motel highly enough. We inadvertently forgot to book two nights and management couldn't have been more helpful. Really comfortable beds. Thoughly enjoyed our stay there. I'll certainly stay there if down that way again.

Highly recommend this motel. The room was fantastic, very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Hosts, Geoff & Vicki are incredibly helpful and welcoming. Nothing was a problem. This will be our new ‘go to’ accommodation in Invercargill. Great motel, great service!

Great property, clean and tidy and fab hosts! Thank you!

Flott service, gode råd og tips om turer. God standard på rommet.

Had a terrible experience at the motel we booked at so came here and they were able to give us a room and a discount which was awesome. Room is lovely very clean great service staff friendly amd helpful. Room spacious and modern. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay for a night when you take the southern scenic route.

Sensational hosts

Carpets had numerous stains. You wldnt want to stay there with a baby or toddler crawling around the floor. Shower had mould, door didn’t shut properly so water all over door and drain was dirty. Otherwise comfortable enough and good space. Staff gave us the key and that was all we seen or heard from them

Enjoyed our stay - thank you

Really good motel, with a warm welcome and great service. 20-30 min walk from town, or a short drive

The motel room we were in was the cleanest I've been in, very quiet and warm, the lady at reception was friendly helpful and always had a warm smile, the bed was super comfy and cosy, staff were very helpful ,we will definitely be back. Thankyou

The floor in bathroom was very slippery And when turned on bathroom fan the power shorted out

We stayed here in February and the rooms were cleaned and comfortable. We had trouble using our Credit Card as the machine was not working and we were told that because it was an Australian Card they could not accept it. We also tried another card and that was a debit card but that didn't work either then they tried their own card and that wasn't working so I don't think that the person understand that is machine was not working. The charge did go through on our Australian Card the next day. There was full cooking in the unit that we had which was very good. This motel is handy and in walking distance to the Motor Museum. It was very quiet and the beds were comfortable.

Spacious, clean, quiet and modern. Great place to stay and I would go back there again.

Vicky and Geoff are fantastic host. They were very helpful as it was my first time in Invercargill for Work. The rooms were serviced everyday, nice comfortable bed just felt like home away from home. Geoff was very kind to drop me off to the airport to catch my flight. overall experience was great, highly recommend it to anyone who is passing through.

I can't fault this place at all. Spotless, spacious rooms, well appointed kitchen and so very warm. Thoroughly enjoyed my two night stay here in the peace and quiet. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting an affordable and very comfortable stay in Invercargill. Would absolutely stay here again any time.

Really enjoyed our couple of days there. Clean units, and had everything we wanted, plenty of room in the living area, also the bedrooms were a good size. Easy parking, handy spot to get to places. Owner was lovely. Would recommend to stay there.

We had a relaxing stay here, the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The unit was spacious, the bed extremely comfortable, serviced daily and clean. The only suggestion would be to maybe looking at shampooing the lounge carpet and seating.

We really loved staying here. Our studio suite was immaculately clean and tidy. The care and thought that was put into our room shows these hosts really do care about others comfort. The shower was absolutely amazing, the bed even more so. I don't sleep very well as I have back problems but I have never slept so well! I woke up after a good full nights sleep and I was not sore at all. The host was helpful, friendly and recommended us to the best restaurant called the Spicy Chef. I cannot rate this place high enough. If I am down in Invercargill again this is the place I will be staying every time.

twice now we have stayed at this motel, lovely friendly host who has been most welcoming and helpful ,we have had the executive unit which is spacious, private and quiet and has everything you need for a short or long stay, the bed is very comfortable its a super king, the drive to Invercargill is only a short 3 minutes away from the motel or a short 10 minutes walk, we will definitely be back to 388 on Tay we love staying here

A 2-night stay in a 2-bedroom unit. Dianna and Keith are welcoming, friendly, good-humoured hosts. Nothing seems to be too much for them to do for their guests. Our unit was absolutely spotless, comfortable, roomy and equipped with everything you could need for self-catering. Would not hesitate to come here again

We found this place on TripAdvisor and were impressed with the reviews. A great host who was very helpful. Good laundry facilities. Good location and the room was very quiet. Was full in no time, so very popular. Nice coffee too.

Fortunately due to a mixup with our bookings we were given the last room at this property which we decided must be Invercargill's best kept secret. Firstly I cannot understand the profile pic of garden gates as to my recollection is some distance to the park entrance. That being said 388 is central to most attractions on offer. Although it is not within easy walking distance of dining, there is list of an order in choices and the popular Saucy Chef and adjacent bistro provides a courtesy transport service for patrons, thanks Debbie at reception for this advice. The 388 accommodation was up with the best of NZ hospitality we have experieced thus far. At $144 per night, the bathroom was well appointed and immaculate as was the kitchenette. Also lovely to have a coffee pot and gounds provided. The bed was huge and comfy, so much so that we took a pic of the mattress so we can get one like it. We had parking outside our unit, would certainly stay there again and would highly recommend to others.

We were in Invercargill for one night only with half a day to look around. This motel had been recommended by a friend. The welcome from the hosts was warm and welcoming and they helped with ideas of what to see and gave us directions on the local map. Our one bedroom apartment was spotless, warm and comfortable. Next time we will stay longer. Highly recommended.

Friendly motel staff, handy to everything. Could have been cleaner especially the carpet. The beds were super comfortable so were the pillows but best of all was how quiet it was. There was a full size kitchen with oven microwave and good fridge.

very friendly staff, handy to everything and really clean and tidy. the beds were super comfortable so were the pillows but best of all was how quiet it was. Would stay there again. there was a full size kitchen with oven microwave and good fridge. Plates and cups were of a high quality and there was a good range of pots and pans. Had a coffee plunger.

The Motel staff were very friendly and helpful and arranged for us to get in our unit early. We had a 2 bedroom which was very clean and large and shower was fantastic. Parking was excellent, off street. This Motel would be our first choice, when we come to Invercargill next.
