Great stay as usual, see you in July
Michael
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.

Diana and Noel are the best host and hostess we have experienced in years of staying in B&B accommodations. They are kind, helpful, and delightful company. Their home is beautiful, cozy and full of charm. They provide ample space across many rooms in their home. Your breakfast is home cooked delicious and coffee amazing (Noel is a first rate barista).
L. Leon
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.

Everything was amazingly good.
Eddie
Truly a wonderful stay. The accommodations were superb and delicious breakfast along with outstanding hospitality. Highly recommend.
Antony
This is a great place to stay with your own library, lounge and dining room as well as a good sized bedroom. Very friendly owners, excellent breakfast and we will definitely be staying there again when visiting Invercargill.
Adam
Very warm, down to earth, welcoming hosts who go beyond expectations to ensure an enjoyable and relaxed experience.
Susan
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.
Lee-anne
Although a beautiful little b&b, on close inspection it was quite dirty. Dust on all surfaces, floors were dirty, shower screen was filthy, toilet didn’t flush properly and the kettle scolds you when you try to pour a cuppa. The owner was quite creepy. Although he said we could watch a movie in the lounge that was supposed to be for our exclusive use, he didn’t bother to tell us how to use the projector and once we did get it going he paid us a very weird visit and closed the door on us! Very disturbing behaviour
RichRD
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.
Maria
Wonderful stay and lovely couple.
Michael
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 !

Fabulous stay.
Diana and Noel were wonderful hosts. The whole experience was wonderful. If you’re in the area make sure you stay here. Fabulous bed, bathroom and own sitting room. Morning coffee was great.
Margaret
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
John
The one night stay was a lovely experience. Tremendous hosts in Diana and Lou. Felt treated like a King. Much appreciated experiencing an old charm experience.
John
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.
Jennifer Kay
Exceptional accommodation, hosts were friendly, could not have been more accommodating, despite road works outside that were obviously beyond their control. Quaint, beautiful, old worldly home , we didn’t want to leave!
Ian
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).

Villa Rouge: January 2024
This is our second time staying at Villa Rouge. Diana and Noel are welcoming hosts, accomodating our every need.
The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and Noel puts out a wonderful spread for breakfast. Would strongly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Invercargill.

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.
Andrea
Friendly, informative
Rebecca
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!
Charles
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.

Super stay
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.
Alan
Loved it :-) beautiful home and very welcoming hosts. Quiet and comfortable - lovely breakfast and very relaxing.
Gordon
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!

amazing !
Verified traveler
It was a villa that was transform the moment u walk through the door with a mix of old n new decoration n lighting.
Verified traveler
The property was very homely, comfortable and well appointed with tea and coffee making facilities and home baking in the bedroom. The hosts, Noel and Di, were very friendly and helpful with good suggestions of where to see and where to eat. I liked the fact that we had the front half of the house to ourselves with our own parlour/lounge with a home movie screen and an pen fire making it very homely and relaxing. The bedroom was large and the bed very comfortable. The ensuite bathroom was also large, modern and well appointed with bath and shower. The property has two bedrooms which are only let out to families or friends travelling together so you are not sharing your facilities with strangers.
Garry
Extraordinary and a must stay experience
Words and images cannot relay how much we have enjoyed our stay with Noel and Diana at their Bed and Breakfast. Great engaging hosts in their c.1910 villa which is warm and extremely comfortable with modern mod cons. The interior rooms ( bed rooms, movie room, breakfast room, kitchen, entrance hall, library) have so much tastefull attention to detail that it's a marvellous world of art gallery discovery in every room. We have never have experienced such an amazing B&B in our worldly travels as this. Noel is the pro on the cooked breakfasts and coffees. The bedroom has an alcove with fridge and hot drinks facilities. Diana is the bright shining star and a marvellous welcoming host. Within minutes one feels part of Diana's and Noels family. The house has had 40 years of love and care. On our next visit to Invercargill this is the place to stay.

What a wonderful venue for a homely and personalised stay!

We experienced such a warm welcome from our hosts who instantly made us feel at home. The accommodation is so full of character and beautifully presented, with our own lounge to relax in with movies and books galore. Our bedroom was spacious with tea/coffee/fridge/homemade treats and some complimentary beverages - the bed was comfortable - and the location was central yet so quiet. It was bliss to relax in the claw foot bath in the lovely large bathroom and soak away my tiredness. The generosity of spirit is everywhere with little touches and considerations. Breakfast in the morning was brilliant - scrambled eggs and bacon with homemade bread (toast), preserves, cereals, fruit and yoghurt. We loved every minute of our stay and would return in a moment!

Diana is a great host!

Superb Accommodation
Everything about this accommodation is exceptional. The room and amnesties to the location to the hosts and the breakfast. The detail in every aspect of the stay was finite. They thought beyond what you would want to have in your room and it was magnificent. The accommodation is within walking distance of great food and parks, had great Wi-Fi and privacy. It had your own sitting room and the furnishings were incredible. The hosts excelled themselves at all times and when we are next in that location we wouldn't stay anywhere else. An experience that we recommend to all. You would be mad not to book this accommodation and experience it for yourself.

This is an outstanding B&B. The hosts are terrific. They did some was for us and were very helpful in finding restaurants and advising on activities. Our room was clean and spacious and the bathroom featured two sinks, shower, free standing vintage clawed tub and separate room for the toilet. The breakfast was fantastic. We booked for one night and stayed for three!! We loved this place!

What a lovely surprise
An amazing bed and breakfast experience. Best we have experienced. The welcome from Noel and Diane was fantastic with a genuine warmth rarely met. The ensuite room had everything you could need and the lounge was warm and comfortable. Great breakfast.

A spectacular experience
Certainly the nicest B&B stay I have ever had. The hosts are lovely people, the home charming, the rooms extremely comfortable, and the breakfast first-rate. I would go to Invercargill just to stay there again
