About this apartment rental
This former shop and dye factory has been redeveloped to welcome executive visitors. Particular attention has been paid to highlighting its heritage values and character features within.
The luxurious apartment consists of 2 generous bedrooms with one queen bed in one and two king singles in the other. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen that fronts to a breakfast bar and an open-plan lounge. A modern bathroom with exposed brick feature wall completes the package.
The site itself was the location of a former bakery that existed on the site from 1885 to 1926 after which the current building was constructed. It was built as a shop, workshop and fabric dying factory complete with an upstairs dwelling for a Mr W Jenkinson in 1928.
The building has had a number of subsequent uses over the years including for Corinthian Sports Club, Invercargill Working Mens Club and the Invercargill Leather and Craft Centre. Following alterations in 1985 the building was known as Oreti house and was home to Alsweiler and Co., Chamber of Commerce and the National Heart Foundation. The Southland Regional Development Council also used the building.
By 2017, the scheduled heritage building fell into disrepair and was purchased by the current owners in 2019 and completely upgraded over the following two years.
Whilst there is no onsite parking, there is plenty of street parking as well as an EV charging station right next door.

Property is as presented and in great condition. Just a couple of issues with our stay that made the experience less than ideal. Firstly, internet was not available as advertised, no internet at all for the duration of our 2 night stay. The TV has no antenna and is set up as a smart TV which was useless for the entirety of our stay. Property management were contacted and as we were staying over a weekend, we were advised it could not be resolved, which frankly isn’t acceptable.The property has a galley style kitchen, which is equiped with appliances that are more than suitable. However, the lack of appropriate cookware made the induction cooktop and oven redundant. Two frying pans and the world’s smallest saucepan were the extent of the cookware provided. I would expect more when a full kitchen is provided. There was a missing plate and a cracked plate that was too dangerous to use. This made feeding more than 2 people at a time a challenge, with bedding for 4, sufficient crockery should be supplied.Finally, there is insufficient seating for meals. 3 stools are provided, again with sleeping for 4 this is a pretty large miss.The amount charged for this stay was one of the more expensive available in the area and unfortunately the experience didn’t meet the expectations based on the features advertised and the amount charged.The issues we experienced can be easily rectified and the property could be a highlight in downtown Invercargill.
