Invercargill Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Awaking to incessant downpour, we were stymied by the winter hours of the wineries - it was a Sunday and none were open - argh! Although this may not be welcome reading in offices around the country, it is very easy to lose track of what day it is when you're not working and we had paid the price for our descent into the work of leisure and rela...

monday april 20... so, after many, many days of doing absolutely everything in the east and south of the south island of new zealand, we now find ourselves with a couple of days in invercargill to do absolutely nothing. woohoo! now, where was i? wycliffe well... ... was a one night stopover, half-way up the stewart highway, between alice springs...

I got up early in Dunedin and hopped on the Bottom us. We drove along the Caitlins in search of wildlife on empty beaches. We stopped several times to view distant seal colonies, but were eluded by sea Lions and Penguins. We reached a beach around noon and saw a Sea Lion. It seemed slightly annoyed with the group of stupid humans that paid so mu...

Partied and hung out with Jena, Haily, Grant and Cam. Spent way too much at the bar... uh, didn't have my camera when we went to the beach or the water tower and that's a...

Wetter=schlecht bis ganz miserabel, das gibt uns aber ein wenig Zeit um in dem gemuetlichen Backpacker die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Wir machen noch einen Ausflug zum...

Final day of the track and back to Invercargill again. Got back to bluff only to find out that Andy had left the lights on in his mad rus not to miss the ferry - the battey was so dead it could not even be push started. Luckily there was a spare in the boot. Back to Southern Comfort again - and this time armed with steak and a box of wine we set...

Decided to go see some more of the south island while work in Queenstown is hard to come by - so first up was Invercargill. Drive down was uneventfull - little traffic and not many stops. We arrived just before 5 and went tot he I-Site to book a ferry to Stewart Island for the next day. That done we found Southern Comfort - a nice little hostel ...
