With mountain views, this accommodation offers a patio. The apartment also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Outstanding in all aspects, location, cleanliness, comfy bed, warm, quiet and great off street parking. We absolutely loved this property.

Offering a garden and garden view, Down South Cottage is set in Invercargill, 6.9 km from Rugby Park Stadium and 6.7 km from Southern Institute of Technology. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Everything was perfectly appointed and cozy! The beauty of the garden and lots of windows made it such a lovely oasis inside and out - you would never have thought it was so conveniently located in town. Marie was the best hostess and very friendly and so helpful with local knowledge of the area as we were deciding on places to visit.
