Lovely home away from home!

We had a fantastic stay in Otatara, the house was beautiful and had everything we needed. It has a lovely yard which was perfect for our wee dog. This property will definitely be our 'go-to' for future trips to Invercargill. The property owner was also very nice and really easy to communicate with.

Fantastic place to stay near the beach and dog-firendly!

Me and my dog had a lovey stay. Everything was as advertised and that TV is insanely big. Very warm home with modern amenities, will be my go to spot whenever I'm down Invercargill. Beach is around a 5 minute drive and is fantastic as you can drive on it and get to a private spot to chill and take in all the views. There's also a Four Square that you can walk to and a nearby cafe. Host was easy to communicate with and is very responsive. Highly recommended!

Perfect location and amenities

A perfect location to meet with family. Close to airport, small store, restaurant and beach and native reserves. The house was beautifully maintained, clean, great cooking facilities and the outside area wonderful for chatting and watching tuis. Would definitely recommend it and stay again.
