Hotels near Invercargill Airport - IVC, Invercargill

A 9min drive from Invercargill it was the right choice for us. We found the cabin & facilities excellent. Invercargill was extremely underwhelming for us so we're so glad we chose to stay close to the beach which was very cool! There is a 4 square, a cafe/restaurant very close to the accommodation

We had gone to the Oyster Festival in Bluff on Saturday and decided to stay Sunday as well so we could visit Riverton and Oreti Beach. We enjoyed Queens Garden and visiting the animals who were well cared for. I am sure there is plenty more to see in and around Invercargill.

I found Invercargill an interesting place. You wouldn't call it a pulsing metropolis but it is very pleasant. I particularly enjoyed the city's older architecture and it is a good base for exploring further out. The people were very friendly also.

Ididnt book the right motel sorrywe couldnt walk into town and booked a taxi. But never mind we had a lovely rest away from home. My relative came and took us to Riverton nice drive We went to Matura and Gore long drive very nice country side. We were taken to restarants where we enjoyed Toasted sandwich and coffee Our activities was zero cause our ages 83 and 78yrs but just shopping museum and drives was enough

So much to do, beautiful gardens, great swimming facilities. New shopping complex with all the shops a large city has without the large crowds. Several eateries. Well laid out city, double lanes with light traffic. Excellent transport museum. E Hayes store has bike history for The World's Fastest Indian fans. Nearby Riverton is great on a warm day.

Invercargill sits at Latitude 46 Degrees South & is the closest CITY to Antartica. It's a large City that offers a multitude of things to do & places to see. There's the old Port Town of Bluff, it's Maritime Museum, cafes & of course the World Renown Bluff Oyster, but you have to be there when it's Oyster season & they are dredging the Foveaux Straits for the delicious seafood treat. Try May-August for this experience. Check out Transport World, it's the Disney Land for Vintage cars, trucks, buses, tractors you name it & it's there. Just like Disney Land it'll take you more than a day to see everything it has to offer, Tip:- DON'T RUSH. Ascot & Riverton Race courses are nearby for the lovers of The Sport Of Kings, with Riverton hosting The BIG EASTER CARNIVAL each year. Want to see a fast MOTOR BIKE then go & view the WORLD's FASTEST INDIAN in the City whilst mum does the shops & Mall over. One thing Invercargill has that many World Cities envy is FRESH CLEAN AIR, yes the breezes off the Southern Ocean sometimes may get a wee brisk, but those same breezes refresh & stimulate your senses. COME & TRY IT, you may just be surprised.
