554 Moana Court Motel offers self-contained accommodation with barbecue facilities and free parking on site. It is a 5-minute walk from Transport World, Stadium Southland and Veledrome. Free bike storage is provided. Beautifully clean, renovated units. A bit of a surprise packet really, as from the outside it just looks like an older ordinary complex. Was a 2 minute walk to Transport World (our reason for staying in Invercargill). The owner also suggested an exceptionally good Asian fusion restaurant for dinner…Mama San.
