My husband (30) & I (28) stayed in this motel for one evening, stopping on our drive through. We had a small room but it was perfect for both of us for one evening. Bathroom and kitchen area was small but we enjoyed showering and having breakfast easily enough. It even had a bar area to sit at and eat. The room had a mini bar if you are interested in having a snack! Parking right outside. Owners suggested a good restaurant and gave us a free drink coupon! Honestly I would highly recommend.

Great service and accommodation. We were here for Christmas and New Year with our family. The room was extremely nice and clean. Daily room service provided with everything you needed. Staff were all very helpful and friendly, make us feel at home. We would definitely come back.

Tower Lodge Motel must surely be rated as one of the best in Invercargill. We were surprised how quiet it was there even being located on a busy city road Queens Drive, and we stayed four nights. The unit was clean, modern and we found everything in excellent working order. Queens Park and the Botanic Gardens are close by and make for a lovely walk especially in the summer evenings. Across the road is the impressive Water Tower, which serves as a visual landmark for first timers to Invercargill. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Tower Lodge Motel comes highly recommended to all travellers. Vanessa & Tulipa

Our accommodation was in one of the adjoining houses - which was very well specced! Very modern and clean and spacious - it was like having a huge house to ourselves. Location also very convenient. Staff were super helpful too, allowing us to store some gear with them for a few days while we visited Stewart Island (we returned and stayed another day following our return to Invercargill).

Hotel location is good, travel is convenient, room facilities are very good, upstairs, downstairs, live as comfortable as home, kitchen, full tableware, very suitable for families, friends to travel together. Parking is very convenient, you can park at the door of your room, and it is free, very suitable for self-driving tour. There is a supermarket nearby, shopping is convenient, the overall impression is very good, cost-effective, it is recommended to stay.

Our second trip down here and we automatically booked this motel again. The rooms are very spacious, clean and have all the amenities needed. Laundry is also available. Easy walking to may places, the owners and staff are super friendly and will store your excess luggage if you go to Stewart Island. (They also have a cottage on Stewart Island if you are looking !) Will be be back, thanks Tony and the team there

I stayed here for a total of three nights while transiting between the Hump Ridge Track and Stewart Island in late December 2022. I booked the King Suite, a spacious studio apartment of penthouse proportions with sweeping views out across Invercargill and towards the Southland plains in one direction and Bluff in another. With the exception of the luxurious bathroom, the room was somewhat dated, and the circa 1980s shagpile carpet definitely needs replacing. However, it was still quite relaxing and comfortable. The highlight of staying here were the excellent staff and their exemplary level of support and service. I was abruptly woken in the early hours of the morning on my first night due to extremely loud guests in a neighbouring room who appeared to be in the hotel to drink and play in the gaming lounge. When I mentioned this to the staff at reception the next morning they promptly offered to move me to another room, which I accepted. Admittedly the second room was much more tired and worn than the King Suite, but the bed was comfortable, the sheets 5-star and I slept very well on the second night. Not only did they move me but they gave me, completely un-requested on my part, a partial refund to reflect the lower price difference of moving into the second room (the suite I initially stayed in is the most expensive room in the hotel). I greatly appreciated the management and reception's thoughtful responses to my need for a good night's sleep before starting out on the Hump Ridge Track. When I returned about 5 days later, I stayed in the King Suite, that I first been booked into, again. The noisy guests in neighbouring rooms had checked out, and the room was quiet and relaxing, just what I needed after completing the Hump Ridge Track. It is true that this hotel could do with a general refurbishment and renovation, but it represents good value for money with excellent staff, among the best I have met anywhere the world, and probably the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met in a New Zealand hotel. I also stayed, after returning from Stewart Island in early January, at the band new Langlands Hotel which, like the Kelvin Hotel, is also owned by the Invercargill Licensing Trust (ITL). While I thoroughly enjoyed the luxury at the Langlands I equally enjoyed the Kelvin and would happily stay here again.

Very happy with our overnight stay here. Hosts friendly and helpful. Was great to have the hot showers and do our washing here after a few days without both. The beautiful weather helped. The kids loved interacting with other guests and finally being able to watch a bit of NBA
