We stayed at this motel as part of the National Model T Vintage Car Club Rally, along with many other "T" enthusiasts. The motel hosts were very accommodating with allowing all the vintage cars to be parked in the grounds for security purposes and there was still enough room for trailers. The 2 bedroom unit we had was very spacious,... More

Thank you for your wonderful comments. It was our priviledge to have so many beautiful Model T's (and their owners) stay with us for your national rally. We were thrilled to be able to fit you all in with the additional parking required for the extra cars & trailers. Thank you for choosing to stay at the Monarch Motel. More

My wife and I spent two nights at the Monarch and found everything to be spotless and in good working order. The room remained warm despite rain and wind outside, no doubt somewhat due to the double glazed windows in the kitchen and bathroom. Karl and Kerry were wonderfully helpful. Not only was the unit just right, but the parking... More

A stopover on our way to Bluff for an early ferry to Stewart Island. We received a friendly greeting and were allocated clean rooms. The stay was quiet and plenty of parking. We would stay here again !

Enjoy my stay at Monarch.. This time I am a returning with my family. Room is comfortable and value for money. Good to return. Some thing negative is the early morning biker noise which woken the family . (PS: there is a bike race at Invercargill at that time) , and that is no fault of the hotel.

Like many people have said before, excellent motel! Clean! Very Comfy! And maybe not the place to put this but first motel that had a seperate door just for the w.c. Staff was excellent and the owner even let us abuse his wifes Katmandu account so that we could get some great deals, now that's service! Recommend staying there!

We stayed over night in Invercargill on a cold and miserable night during the winter, but we were warm and cosy in one of the refurbished rooms at the Monarch Motel, the room was decorated in a modern but contempory style, and the room was very comfortable and good value for money.
