Reviews for Balmoral Lodge Motel

Review 1:After booking I had to contact them about a matter , they responded quickly and with a nice friendly attitude , this attitude continued on our arrival and check out . The unit was above what we expected for the price , very good value .

Review 2:Nothing, was a great place to stay.

Review 3:Great service, good location and large, clean rooms that were ideal for a family. Makes a change to have some a great family option available at a very reasonable cost.

Review 4:Digital tv dated with poor reception, time to update.

Review 5:Friendly staff, although on a main road the rooms were not facing the street and therefore it was quiet.

Review 6:The only downside was that the windows seem to be single-pane and not noise proof, which made the room a bit noisy for my taste.

Review 7:Friendly staff, large units equipped with all necessities, very clean. The washing machine and drying lines were also a plus.

Review 8:Absolutely awesome. We arrived to friendly service a great surprise stay. Upstairs/dwnstairs, kitchen, spacious and roomy for 3 people. Great value for money, location, close to everything.

Review 9:There was nothing I could fault with this stay. We even received a newspaper on the door mat in the morning.

Review 10:Everything about this stay was perfect. The accommodation was excellent with everything we could possible need in the room. Also the facilities on site (laundry/clothes lines/pegs) was great and we were even offered a clothes horse if the clothes weren't dry on the line.

Review 11:Very little really

Review 12:Great room Friendly staff Close to town Plenty of hot water Great value - better than the Hilton Doubletree in Queenstown which is 4 times the price per night

Review 13:The room was cleaned everyday and well maintained. There was plenty of parking space. The facilities were good with crockery and we were able to make lunches etc

Review 14:Our unit was on the corner of two roads - one was the main highway into town so quite noisy at night - not unbearable though!

Review 15:Good location, very clean and comfortable two bedroom unit for four people. Would stay again.

Review 16:Very big apartment great for a family. Staff is kind and we could leave our baggage for a day while we were travelling to Stewart island and back so it was perfect.

Review 17:The only niggle was when the car park was stolen by a car which was parked right in front of the door and was told it belonged to a staff member. Wasn't very fussed about it as I was checking soon but it would be great if they were more aware about where staff parking should be.

Review 18:The comfort and practicality of the unit was amazing and felt safe as well as being quite warm despite Invercargill being one of the coldest places in the country. Staff was amazing and was very private and good value for money.

Review 19:A very welcoming Motel which was warm and friendly and ideal for a family get together. Not the newest accommodation but size and comfort more than carried the day. Thank you.

Review 20:Decor and paint colour on the walls made it a little dark inside. Drinking mugs too small.

Review 21:Two storey loft apartment. Large bathroom with spacious vanity, heated towel rack and anti fogging mirror. Spacious loft bedroom with comfortable mattresses. Two flat screen TV. Fresh milk and Anzac cookies.

Review 22:This was a very spacious and attractive unit. Although we did not use it, the spa bath was an added extra ( but not good if you have trouble getting in & out of a bath). The shower was hot, the toiletries good and the towels fluffy. We could walk to the centre of town easily. The laundry facilities were good and easily accessed. The bed was upstairs and the bathroom down - this may prove an inconvenience for some.

Review 23:Thanks again guys for a wonderful stay, very comfortable and everything you need at a good price.. Friendly staff that always make you feel welcome and dam that breakfast they cook smelt good when I was checking out :)

Review 24:This was in a good location, the staff friendly and we had a cooked breakfast which was really well cooked and best of all still hot when we had it bought up to us. Would recommend it and would stay again.

Review 25:Occasional rumble of big trucks during the night. Would wake up wondering what the noise was.

Review 26:Comfortable, clean and great value for money. Late check out which was ideal for us.

Review 27:Our room was next to the laundry and the dryer was going all night, therefore I didn't have s great sleep. I would request not to be near the laundry next time. The decor, especially in the bathroom, was a little tired.

Review 28:Great location, great staff, clean, comfortable and warm room. Great shower. Would stay here again.

Review 29:The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We arrived after dark and our unit had lights on inside and out for us and it was lovely and warm. Lots of room for an adult and 3 teenage girls!! Wish I could have stayed longer.

Review 30:There was no power point in the bathroom (apart from one for shavers only) and consequently had to use the hairdryer upstairs in the sleeping area.

Review 31:Units were well sound proofed and with the fridge downstairs, there was no fridge hum to disturb our sleep.

Review 32:Everything! Great value for money, very nice room, very comfortable, friendly, helpful staff. Will stay again next trip and more than happy to recommend to others.

Review 33:Only negative was the bed, very spongy with some roll together issues. Husband ended up sleeping in spare bed.

Review 34:We've been coming to the Balmoral for over 15 years off and on now. Great location, room was great had everything we needed. We were worried about the noise (as last visit was noisy due to a barking dog) but this visit was very quiet.

Review 35:Accomodating to our needs ( e.g check in & out) as we travelled with our 4year old as well as 2 older children despite being fully booked. Thanks Adam & Jo-anne.

Review 36:Broken security lock on entry door! Had been smashed at some stage and not replaced. Not happy! Took the shine off what was otherwise an excellent venue. Unacceptable.

Review 37:large, two bedrooms, full kitchen facilities, comfortable.

Review 38:Small points only, room a tad dark because it didn't get the sun, some road noise but unavoidable and only one bedside table.

Review 39:Helpful and accommodating staff, well equipped room and very clean.

Review 40:Don't use the local fish and chip shop/deli.

Review 41:Very comfortable, spacious and warm. A lovely place to hide in the terrible Invercargill "summer". The staff were very helpful. The laundry facility was excellent in wet weather.

Review 42:No en-suite for such a big apartment. Didn't 'feel' comfy. Strange location of the shower and the extractor fan never stopped. Bowls in kitchen were too shallow for cereal.

Review 43:Close to public pool. Lots of space.

Review 44:Arriving before time and being let into room to unload our gear. Which was a heap due to my daughters 21st. Arrived back later to a beautifully made up room. And reception staff let us borrow scissors and ruler. Great Great Great

Review 45:mould in bathroom in grouting

Review 46:location secure parking size of units friendly staff TV's in all bedrooms table in lounge for computer use free wifi

Review 47:No reason to complain about anything. This was a very good value for money, plenty of space in the well-equipped room, friendly welcome. Walking distance to the town centre and the Southland Museum which is definitely highly recommended.

Review 48:We stayed in a One-Bedroom apartment. Really impressed by how spacious the room was. Everything is clean and comfortable. The shower water pressure is the best comparing to all the other places I have stayed in the past 10 days. Delighted to have 250MB free wifi available although the facilities on the booking stated internet was chargeable. This is enough for us to check on emails and tourism information. Other facilities included bottle of milk and local newspapers. Staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks to the girl at the counter (sorry I don't know your name) who printed an Invercargill airport map for us. Overall this is an excellent place to stay, highly recommend.

Review 49:A very spacious room and an equally divine bathroom. We arrived on Christmas day and were delighted by the gift of a small Christmas cake - how thoughtful.Thanks!

Review 50:- extra bed put in between sitting area and the kitchen. But the unit is still spacious, comfortable and quite nice.

Review 51:- Location is superb - friendly, accommodative staff - room comfortable

Review 52:Welcoming staff, cookies, milk and the room was warm when l arrived. Well done to all the staff from room service to reception they have really put the thought in. :-) Regards a happy Kiwi

Review 53:Wifi absolute rubbish.

Review 54:It hailed like crazy when I checked in and kept raining so the activities I had planned were scratched; host suggested alternatives such as going to Bluff that were okay. Can't help the weather. Room was super large--big enough for a family.

Review 55:Noise close by both nights, sounded like firecrackers the first night and shots the second, very disconcerting, never did find out what it was.

Review 56:Very convenient location with parking, a large room with well supplied kitchen facilities and a table and chairs for self catering. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A very comfortable stay.

Review 57:The apartment was nice and comfortable, looks a bit old-fashioned but all the equipment was very good. Good pressure in the shower and hot water. People at the reception very pleasant. If we're back in Invercargill (I honestly hope I'll never have to... Sorry), we'll definitely go back there!

Review 58:Upon arrival the young Lady in Reception was very switched on re my 2 grandchildren s needs. Breakfast for the four of us was definitely value for money.Unit was great, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Review 63:Perhaps a little closer to centre of town but really that's a smallest concern it's still pretty close.

Review 64:The management and staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Not request was too much trouble and hospitality was was beyond any standard motel. If we return this will be our first choice accomodation for sure.

Review 65:The staff were so friendly. The decor was modern and pleasing to the eye. The room was wonderfully warm. The facilities, eg. crockery, bathroom, towels, etc were in excellent condition and well supplied. The room was serviced nicely. And the price fantastic.
