A group of friends traveling by car, the first choice for motels! Convenient and cost-effective, complete kitchen utensils, clean and hygienic!

We stayed the night after coming across from Christchurch on the Trans Alpine train. (And that is such a wonderful trip in itself- thoroughly recommend it) Murray and Wendy are great hosts, friendly and helpful and able to point us towards interesting things to do around Greymouth while we were there. Their units are spotless, all our basic requirements were covered and the shower is amazing. Full on hot and abundant! Murray dropped us back to the train the next day and when my husband discovered he had left his jacket in the back of the car, Murray made it back down to the train station with said item of clothing, just before the train departed. He definitely went above and beyond expectations.

We stayed there for 2 nights in 2007, we couldn't go back that far. Must have been different owners and we stayed in off-peak so it was very quiet. It was clean and our double bed room was comfortable. Great historic building with such awesome interesting themed rooms. It was more than fine for us and reasonably priced compared to possibly finer hotels but this was way more homely,quaint and interesting. I believe the kitchen was as good as any decent backpackers. We weren't disappointed as were not wanting a millionaire accommodation hotel but a warm atmosphere.

We arrived at the hotel and had a pang of disappointment. It looks quite austere from the outside. When we entered we were very pleasantly surprised. It is modern, clean and well laid out. We were greeted by Kelly who is absolutely wonderful at her job. She is so enthusiastic and welcoming - the best Kiwi welcome of our road trip so far. She gave us some great recommendations of things to do and places to go in the area. We went to our room and it was huge! Two double beds and a lovely bathroom (and a great shower). It had obviously been refurbished recently to a very good standard. The bed was very comfortable. We were on the top (6th) floor with great views. We had a nightcap in the evening -the bar is well stocked with some great gins. Kelly and Ella chatted with us like old friends and we had a lovely time and found out lots more what the area had to offer....so much so that we booked another night! Another nightcap and another great chat with Kelly and Ella again. We didn't have dinner in the restaurant but breakfast was superb and the coffee outstanding. Great staff, comfortable room and in the middle of town with its own parking.....what more could you ask?

Stayed in this room, excellent bed, comfortable as. Friendly hosts and interesting conversation about history of place. Enjoyed hot coal fire in the living room at night and the use of courtesy bike to get around given limitations with walking. Enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again.

About 8 minutes walk to town centre ... close to Monteith Brewery and good Indian restaurant ... also a cafes and bars/pubs. The rooms are just what we, a couple of 70 year olds, wanted. The manager is very good. The shower/bathroom was lovely.
