The uniqueness was the 2 rough coated Jack Russells and kind Proprietors. A pleasure to stay at a motel with kind owners rather than staff.

The property was central and conveniently located. Realistically, there was nothing not to like apart from perhaps the decor being a bit dated.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very comfortable accommodation with separate rooms
Very comfortable accommodation with separate bedroom, kitchen and lounge room – a rarity with many motels - giving the place a ‘homely’ feel. Great for the business traveller who wants a little home comfort and not wanting to eat out very night. Along with friendly management and good arrangements for late check makes Colonial on Tay a must for my next business trip to Invercargill.
