Top Awarua Wetlands Hotel Reviews

The Langlands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well-proportioned room. Very helpful staff."

Distinction Invercargill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming and helpful when you arrive. Super clean room with all the right touches. I would definitely stay here again."

Comfort Inn Tayesta

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for 3 nights in October 2026. The room was very clean and comfortable and I appreciated the electric blanket at night. It was located very close to Woolies supermarket, only a few blocks from the city centre and Queens Park. The staff were also very friendly and helpful."

Tower Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Our two bedroom unit was spotlessly clean, spacious, and warm. It was an old house converted to two flats, now motel units. As there were 4 of us (2 couples) we found that the toilet should be a separate room! And mirrors in the bedrooms would have been handy. I think that this unit will be upgraded to match the other units of the motel complex - which are exceptional - we’ve stayed in those before. The staff were very helpful."

Bavarian Motel

8/10 Good

"Good location, lots of space, had everything we needed on our budget."
