Historic Inner City Apartment
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.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a desk.
