ILT operates 23 businesses in the hospitality industry in Invercargill, including hotels, motels, restaurants, bars and retail liquor outlets, along with a motel in Dunedin and another in Christchurch.
We are committed to providing first class options for both our residents of, and visitors to, Invercargill and this is evident both in our commitment to creating new vibrant businesses such as The Langlands, but also our continual reinvestment in our existing establishments.
Whether you are looking for a homestyle tavern experience or a high class cocktail evening, we have a range of offerings to suit the occasion. And just by enjoying yourself in one of our establishments, you are contributing to our local community.
In Invercargill, we offer 3 bespoke hotel options along 2 superior motel choices for larger groups and families. Our hotels include 2 inner city options: The Langlands (4.5 star, completed in September 2022) and The Kelvin Hotel (3.5 star). Both of these offer all the amenities you will need for a wonderful stay, the convenience of a great location and attentive southern service.
The Ascot Park Hotel (4 star) is Invercargill’s premier conference hotel and is only 5 mins from the inner city. With a choice of hotel, apartment and even motel accommodation set in park like surroundings, it is also a very popular preference. Balmoral Lodge Motel and Homestead Villa Motel round out our Invercargill options and both provide a home-away-from-home experience with excellent rooms and warm service.
We’re proud to offer the same Southland service from our motels in Dunedin (Cable Court Motel) and in Christchurch (Ashford Motor Lodge). Welcoming guests from throughout the world, these motels not only contribute to the cities in which they are located, but as with all of our businesses, the profits are returned to Invercargill community groups.
When you book a room in any of the ILT’s seven accommodation options, you not only get personal service, excellent facilities and a great night’s sleep, you also contribute to the well being of our community so you can rest even easier on your travels.
From a birthday celebration or important meeting to an international conference or a high end dinner for 800 of your nearest and dearest friends, we know it’s crucial to get all the details right. With a range of venues catering for all sizes and requirements, expert advice and professional yet friendly assistance, we’re here for you whatever your style and budget might be.
ILT has 11 restaurants to meet your appetite: from fusion inspired dishes at Meld through the legendary meals and atmosphere offered by Kiwi icon Lone Star, to award-winning, locally grown a la carte dining at Emberz at Ascot.
Our exceptional chefs are known for using local produce in exciting ways to bring you the best southern flavours paired with complementing beverages – including our very own coffee blend at Brew’d cafe!
ILT operates 15 great bars and taverns throughout Invercargill.
These include 360, Invercargill’s top floor cocktail bar and Niche, a Melbourne inspired laneway bar. Along with friendly suburban “locals” such as Eastern Suburbs, Newfield Taverns, and of course, The Northern Tavern, the best country pub in town, we have the atmosphere you are looking for.
ILT owns and operates six stand alone liquor outlets in the Invercargill area, including two Liquorlands, two Super Liquors and two independent stores. In addition, there are convenience bottle stores attached to seven suburban taverns.
Centrepoint Liquorland and Collingwood Superliquor provide free delivery and all of the major liquor outlets are able to assist with party supplies (kegs, glassware, jugs, etc), as well as access to chilled trailers.
