It is a very modern hotel with all the latest amenities. It’s in a very convenient location for the town centre. However we were surprised and disappointed with the car parking arrangements.

My family and I were never planning on coming to Invercargill. However an accident in Queenstown caused a family member to be hospitalized and transferred to this city for surgery. We booked the Distinction Invercargill to stay while they recovered post-operation, and the staff here went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable. The hotel staff were all extremely courteous and friendly and helped make this difficult time for our family a bit easier. We are very grateful to the excellent service from the Distinction’s incredible staff.
