About Us

Mark and Maureen have been the owners of Queens Park Motels since November 2002. We spent our wedding night here in 1978 and loved the motel location so much we had to come back. It is a quiet neighbourhood and home to the magnificent Queens Park that attracted us and still attracts us to this idyllic place here in central Invercargill.

The motel gardens attract a wide variety of birdlife including pigeons, blackbirds, finches thrushes and even ducks, and listening to the tuis in the kowhai trees are a delight.

Mark's favourites in the gardens are the bedding begonias and the Chatham Island lily. Maureen's favourites are the roses. The outstanding scented plant is the Rhododendron fragrantissima.

We invite you to share this lovely location with us. Just enter through the back gate and with our brochure map, find your way around the many tracks, gardens, cultural and sporting attractions. Visit the two cafes, sit and enjoy the history, geography and the entertainment at the Band Rotunda. Our favourite pastime is visiting the rose gardens, sitting on the seat in a gentle breeze and breathing in the rose scent.

We love listening to your travel stories. We are here to help you enjoy your Invercargill experience and Bob the cat will be nosing around sometimes to have a pat.
