Top Awarua Wetlands Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Awarua Wetlands

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."

Ascot Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Having the pool and spa for the kids was fantastic - they had loads of fun! And dinner in the bar was great - good kids menu too! And having a kitchenette in the motel was perfect."

The Langlands Hotel

"Beautiful stay and great food."

Distinction Invercargill Hotel

"Nice hotel, quite new and rooms very well appointed. Only issue we had was we could hear people throwing weights around in the Gym at 6am in the morning from our room which was directly above the gym. Designer’s may have forgot that part of sound proofing. Restaurant in Hotel is excellent."
