這一家我非常滿意！女主人把院子打理的非常美麗，綉球花，玫瑰，劍蘭，薔薇，各種各樣的花開的很好，房間的床單被套也是花花，門廊處也插了花，非常漂亮。非常推薦。

Possibly the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I chose the single Koen room, which was perfect for my needs. Merlyn is a kind and thoughtful host, and has presented her accommodation beautifully. There are a range of communal spaces to enjoy.

Stayed 1 night here in the dorm but wish I had scheduled to stay longer. Great value. Warm, cosy and spotlessly clean everywhere. Lovely kitchen and separate eating /lounge area. Well located too - a v short walk to town but in a pretty side street. The host was so welcoming. There's a lovely garden as well but visiting in winter I didn't make the most of that. I wouldn't look anywhere else if I was going back through Invercargill. Super place - and I say that having stayed at a lot of hostels.

Great, comfortable little backpackers with great facilities, and geat value too. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable owner. We were on our way to go tramping (hiking), and really enjoyed sharing experiences with the hostess and other guests in the comfortable lounge. Loved it, and will definitely treturn if we are in the area again.

Arrived late (plane delayed) but still welcomed by Merlyn. She's super friendly and is proud of her business of the last 2 years. Very lovely and homely. Tastefully decorated rooms, lounge and dining area. Amazing kitchen with everything you need. Slept well in private room inside the house. Shared bathrooms spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water. Was picked up early, so unable to see outside, but will definitely stay again when in Invercargill. Highly recommend.

This is my second stay here the first on my own and this recent trip with 7 old school friends for a reunion. Everyone was so thrilled with the accommodation. Warm, spotlessly clean, the owner went out of her way for us. Wonderful big kitchen, lots of teas she even makes biscuits every day! Big cosy lounge, fabulous garden, the big villa in a lovely part of town, the park just around the corner and a short walk to the main city shopping. Marvelous.

We met at Southern Comfort, a group who were at school together in Invercargill sixty years ago. We couldn't have picked a better venue for a reunion. Warm, comfortable and relaxed. Our host Merlyn went out of her way to be hospitable and meet all our requests. We all had a great time and won't wait sixty years for the next reunion.

Lovely place, staff and facilities. Spotless. Great shower. More like a 4 star hotel. Easy 10 minute walk into the heat of Invercargill CBD. A 45 minute walk to the airport. I got an upgraded room for free, thanks.
