The hostel is just great. Situated in the city center, near the isite and the Pak n Save, the hostel offers great rooms. I enjoyed my stay, and should I ever come back to Invercargill I would definitely stay there again. More

This backpacker is a very close 5 minute walk from Queens Park, I-site and bus services. The backpacker is nice, well kept, clean, all of the things that you want from a backpacker. A 7 minute walk will have you in the thick of the centre of town. Invercargill is a very flat city so getting around on foot is... More

I stayed at this hostel during my travels on the Southern Scenic Route. I arrived to find that off street parking meant they had room for 2 cars and that was it, however there was ample free paring on the street outside. We went in to the reception area and pressed the phone button to alert the staff to our... More

Nomen est omen for this lovely, almost boutique hostel. It is one of my favourite hostels in New Zealand. The beautiful property is a rather small hostel, located in a residential neighbourhood close to Queens Park but not far away from the center. The Victorian villa is surrounded by a well-kept garden and features a veranda with nice furniture. It... More

I stayed for one night in Southern Comfort. As others say, it's a very homey sort of place, fairly quiet but very close to the city centre and the lovely Queens park. The kitchen is brand new and very clean. The living room is pretty much the opposite, very old and dated, but that's ok as it's only armchairs to... More

This is the 2nd time our family have stayed at this lovely home. Recently my partner and his Dad which is 70+ stayed a few days whilst they were doing some building in Invercargill and renovations. They both had a very enjoyable, comfortable and safe stay, very clean, decent owner, reasonable prices, comfy beds, warm. Was a great experience for... More

A lovely place to stay. It's set in a quiet residential area a few minutes walk from the town centre and round the corner from the i-site and Intercity bus stop. It's a nice old house and the rooms are warm and clean. There's no TV but a log fire more than makes up for that, and overall there's a... More

We were driving the southern scenic highway and finished our trip in Christchurch the other day. We stayed at Southern Comfort for one night and had an ok stay. The hostel is not your usual backpackers, especially if you're used to the hustle and bustle of places in Queenstown for example or the more commercialised chain hostels in New Zealand... More

I wasn't sure where I should stay when I went to Invercargill. I checked reviews and found a nice review on Southern Comfort backpackers. It was possibly the nicest backpackers I've ever stayed in the entire world!!! It's a beautiful character villa that has been converted into a backpackers. There were only 5 beds in my room (this is the... More
