This Fox Street property is delightful, very homely, and in an ideal location. The hosts whom we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting have added all the creature comforts which added to our enjoying our stay. We were grateful we were able to bring our pet and the park being in such close proximity was great for walky times. We will not hesitate in recommending a stay here.

Warm and homely place, very comfortable with good sunlight. Quiet street but very close to town. Good little fenced garden area to contain a small dog, and very close to Queen’s Park for walks. This place had everything we needed for a week’s stay, and was a very pleasant experience. I would stay here again next time I am in Invercargill

Host profile image
Gordon and Viv have been in the Invercargill area since 1994 . Gordon was born in UK and met Viv on her Overseas Experience ( O E ) at a barn dance in Oxford UK !
Viv's family is from Cheviot North Canterbury and so after getting married on the hill country family home in 1990 and settling back to Devon UK the offer of a job when visiting in 1993 was accepted ! Gordon worked for MAF( Agriculture New Zealand ) from Invercargill and stayed with Agriculture New Zealand working from Gore as well .
In 1997 they purchased their slice of heaven ( 37 Acres ) in Hedgehope 25 minutes north of Invercargill . Their two adult Kids (!) Ellen and Ben enjoyed a country style up bringing . Ellen was born in Torquay Devon and Ben Invercargill .
Every 3 years they would go back to the UK and break the journey up in Los Angeles so Disney land was a great treat !
As a family they have travelled to many places in the world and got to understand what's important to travellers . The essentials are a clean tidy set up with comfortable mattresses !! They have put these experiences to good use in setting up two BOOKABACH houses in Te Anau and have now added this Invercargill property to their Portfolio . They recognise the uniqueness that Southland has to offer and now with the Auckland - Invercargill direct flights they knew this was the perfect opportunity to offer a clean and tidy place to stay at a new gateway to the Deep South of New Zealand.
They are really pleased with this house and look forward to sharing it with you !

Why they chose this property

This is so close to the city centre and all the amenities on offer . Close by is the The Bill Richardson Museum , Burt Munro and Motorcycle museum , the lovely Queens Park and the10 pin bowling alley to name a few . Stadium Southland is always busy with events too . For the business people this property is a short walk back into town with the comfort of home and many eateries so close by !

What makes this property unique

Free wifi .

FANTASTIC LOCATION !

You will love it !
