The hosts, Diana and Noel were fabulous. They ensured our room was ready with all the amenities you would require. Breakfast was prepared for you at a time you liked and always freshly made.
They were able to answer all your questions and provide recommendations on places to see.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Highly recommended.

This place is a gem! Noel & Di welcomed us into their home, and it was so lovely after a series of slightly soulless hotels we stayed in during our travels around South Island. It’s a quirky place but all the better for it! We ate at a restaurant called Rocks in Invercargill and the steaks were excellent. Thanks to Noel for his recommendations on the Catlins.

Excellent accommodation and breakfast.
Very welcoming. Excellent friendly hosts. Lovely bedroom, Sitting Room and Bathroom. All well equipped and comfortable. Pleasant walk into town through the park. Breakfast was great ( especially the homegrown rhubarb with muesli and yoghurt).

This beautiful bed and breakfast is a real treat for the senses - gorgeous decorations and very kind and friendly hosts who serve up a delicious breakfast in a proper breakfast room. It was tempting to curl up on the window seat in the adjacent library with a good book and a cosy fire - perfect for a rainy day!

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and Noel puts out a wonderful spread for breakfast. Would strongly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Invercargill.

Great stay with our friendly hosts.
Our friendly hosts, Diana and Noel, made us very welcome and provided us with lovely breakfasts as well as a few little goodies. They were very kind, attentive, interested and interesting hosts. Noel set us up with a movie to watch each night. We really enjoyed our stay there in what seems to be an increasingly rare traditional B&B. They are long-time Invercargill residents and have done an amazing job of restoring and fitting out this old home.

We absolutely loved our stay. We received a friendly welcome, great restaurant suggestion which we enjoyed & loved watching a movie . The wee extras were very much appreciated. Breakfast was superior with home made stewed fruit, jams & bread. Poached eggs were made to perfection. Bed was soo comfy. A stunning bnb. Thank you

Delightful experience in Invercargill
This place was beautiful, comfortable and wonderfully outfitted with lovely linens and decor.
It’s very private and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with a very easy short walk to a beautiful park with trails, sculptures and a rose garden. In addition there’s a wonderful restaurant very nearby called Buster Crabb.
Homemade breakfast was terrific including yogurt, fruit, granola, eggs with bacon and toast….and excellent flat white coffee.
Most importantly, the hosts were so warm and welcoming — truly delightful people who we enjoyed getting to know.
This was really a memorable experience that exceeded our overall expectations for Invercargill !

Friendly owners
We stayed here for one night. The couple who own it were delightful. V friendly and helpful. The accomodation is very....quirky. I'm giving it a four instead of a five because the bed wasn't the comfiest(what's with the need for an electric blanket in NZ!) and the room was too stuffy for me at night . Breakfast was good but we would have liked our pot of tea to have come with the cooked breakfast not after- just being picky here but it's useful info should they have other UK guests.

An absolute gem.
This beautiful boutique b&b was an amazing find. The property, built in c1910 is tastefully decorated, in keeping with the style of the time and provides comfortable, spacious accommodation for the lucky traveller to enjoy. Your hosts, Noel and Diana have owned the house for 50 years and welcome you into their home as if you were one of the family. There are restaurants within walking distance and shopping only a short drive away and Noel and Diana will happily provide you with helpful tips on where to eat and things to do in the area. I cannot recommend the Villa Rouge highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

It pains me to write this review as I will be giving away a little gem hidden in the South of NZ.
And I would like to be able to reserve a room next time that I am in town..
I stayed at this wonderful establishment for two nights during a business trip.
This is a waterhole away from the everyday stress, complete with fireplace, deep bathtub and wonderful breakfast with homemade bread, expertly prepared to order by the inhouse chef.
I would strongly recommend this for anyone staying overnight in the region. Especially recommended for a couple wanting some RnR.
Five Star+!

We had a lovely stay at Villa Rouge. The room was beautifully decorated, tea and coffee facilities excellent, the bathroom was luxurious and we even had our own lounge room with a large selection of films on offer, viewed on a huge screen. The breakfasts were lovely. Our hosts, Noel and Diana, are delightful and great company. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Rouge. Highly recommended!

We had a very warm welcome from Diana and Noel. Nothing was too much trouble. The house is an absolute delight. Lovely room. Super bathroom. Breakfast was a teeny weeny bit early for our holiday mode, but it just gave us more time to enjoy our day, so not a problem. Highly recommend Villa Rouge.

My wife and I have stayed at many Air BnB’s in many countries. Villa Rouge is by far and away the best place we have ever stayed at. If you are in Imvercargill and don’t stay at Villa Rouge, you will miss out on one the the finest B&B’s in New Zealand. The accommodations were very welcoming, lovely and spacious. The hosts were generous with their time and gave great suggestions. The breakfast was exquisite. Every morsel was tastier than the last.
If we could give the Villa 10 smiles we would. Do yourself a favor, spend time at Villa Rouge it will be a marvelous stay. Many thanks to our hosts, they are special people with a special home.
