This place is a gem! Noel & Di welcomed us into their home, and it was so lovely after a series of slightly soulless hotels we stayed in during our travels around South Island. It’s a quirky place but all the better for it! We ate at a restaurant called Rocks in Invercargill and the steaks were excellent. Thanks to Noel for his recommendations on the Catlins.

Diana and Noel were wonderful hosts. The whole experience was wonderful. If you’re in the area make sure you stay here. Fabulous bed, bathroom and own sitting room. Morning coffee was great.

This is our second time staying at Villa Rouge. Diana and Noel are welcoming hosts, accomodating our every need. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and Noel puts out a wonderful spread for breakfast. Would strongly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Invercargill.

Friendly owners

We stayed here for one night. The couple who own it were delightful. V friendly and helpful. The accomodation is very....quirky. I'm giving it a four instead of a five because the bed wasn't the comfiest(what's with the need for an electric blanket in NZ!) and the room was too stuffy for me at night . Breakfast was good but we would have liked our pot of tea to have come with the cooked breakfast not after- just being picky here but it's useful info should they have other UK guests.

We absolutely loved our stay. We received a friendly welcome, great restaurant suggestion which we enjoyed & loved watching a movie . The wee extras were very much appreciated. Breakfast was superior with home made stewed fruit, jams & bread. Poached eggs were made to perfection. Bed was soo comfy. A stunning bnb. Thank you

Super stay

We had a very warm welcome from Diana and Noel. Nothing was too much trouble. The house is an absolute delight. Lovely room. Super bathroom. Breakfast was a teeny weeny bit early for our holiday mode, but it just gave us more time to enjoy our day, so not a problem. Highly recommend Villa Rouge.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although a beautiful little b&b, on close inspection it was quite dirty. Dust on all surfaces, floors were dirty, shower screen was filthy, toilet didn’t flush properly and the kettle scolds you when you try to pour a cuppa. The owner was quite creepy. Although he said we could watch a movie in the lounge that was supposed to be for our exclusive use, he didn’t bother to tell us how to use the projector and once we did get it going he paid us a very weird visit and closed the door on us! Very disturbing behaviour

An absolute gem.

This beautiful boutique b&b was an amazing find. The property, built in c1910 is tastefully decorated, in keeping with the style of the time and provides comfortable, spacious accommodation for the lucky traveller to enjoy. Your hosts, Noel and Diana have owned the house for 50 years and welcome you into their home as if you were one of the family. There are restaurants within walking distance and shopping only a short drive away and Noel and Diana will happily provide you with helpful tips on where to eat and things to do in the area. I cannot recommend the Villa Rouge highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I have stayed at many Air BnB’s in many countries. Villa Rouge is by far and away the best place we have ever stayed at. If you are in Imvercargill and don’t stay at Villa Rouge, you will miss out on one the the finest B&B’s in New Zealand. The accommodations were very welcoming, lovely and spacious. The hosts were generous with their time and gave great suggestions. The breakfast was exquisite. Every morsel was tastier than the last. If we could give the Villa 10 smiles we would. Do yourself a favor, spend time at Villa Rouge it will be a marvelous stay. Many thanks to our hosts, they are special people with a special home.

Delightful experience in Invercargill

This place was beautiful, comfortable and wonderfully outfitted with lovely linens and decor. It’s very private and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with a very easy short walk to a beautiful park with trails, sculptures and a rose garden. In addition there’s a wonderful restaurant very nearby called Buster Crabb. Homemade breakfast was terrific including yogurt, fruit, granola, eggs with bacon and toast….and excellent flat white coffee. Most importantly, the hosts were so warm and welcoming — truly delightful people who we enjoyed getting to know. This was really a memorable experience that exceeded our overall expectations for Invercargill !

Great stay with our friendly hosts.

Our friendly hosts, Diana and Noel, made us very welcome and provided us with lovely breakfasts as well as a few little goodies. They were very kind, attentive, interested and interesting hosts. Noel set us up with a movie to watch each night. We really enjoyed our stay there in what seems to be an increasingly rare traditional B&B. They are long-time Invercargill residents and have done an amazing job of restoring and fitting out this old home.

This beautiful bed and breakfast is a real treat for the senses - gorgeous decorations and very kind and friendly hosts who serve up a delicious breakfast in a proper breakfast room. It was tempting to curl up on the window seat in the adjacent library with a good book and a cosy fire - perfect for a rainy day!
