Located around 2.8 km from Ivon Wilson Park, the motel with free WiFi is also 3.1 km away from Lake Henry. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.7 km from Te Anau Glow Worm Caves. We only stopped for one night on our way to Milford Sound, but we would have gladly stayed longer! The room was spacious, well decorated, and the bed was comfortable. We won’t hesitate staying at Dusky Motels again when we come back to Te Anau!

Situated on the main road into Invercargill, Colonial on Tay offers spacious ground-floor units with unlimited free WiFi and free parking outside your room. All units include satellite TV and kitchen facilities.

Colonial on Tay Motel is a 5-minute drive from Invercargill city centre and Queens Park. Stadium Southland is 1.3 km away and the Bill Richardson Transport World is 850 metres away. Stayed here for 15days and couldn't have picked a better motel. What stood out the most was the cleanliness, the place was spotless and soft furnishings were pristine. (no ugly bed spread that most motels do not wash) Pros: Kitchen was fully kitted out (minus an oven) with every utensil you would need (cheese grater, Tupperware, pans & pots, wine glasses, mugs + all the usual etc.), comfortable beds with assortment of blankets, cushions and heated blankets, there was also a pedestal fan as well as a heater in the living space. The bedroom had lots of storage for clothes and/or luggage plus an ironing board & iron and its own TV. The laundry facilities have 2 washers and dryers plus an outdoor clothes hanger; detergent is provided. The rooms are large and spacious and everything has been thought of to make your stay have all of comforts of a home. They provide toiletries and tea/coffee. We had no complaints and the owner Denise was super friendly and gave us great tips on exploring Invercargill. We don't like to use house-keeping every day and the staff respected this and we were able to ask for anything we needed anytime. The owners live on the property and clearly take great pride in their business. My partner works remotely and had no issues with the wifi.
