Greymouth hotels

Pros: Beautiful house and rooms and stunning location. Warm hosts and superb breakfast. Wish we could have stayed longer. A highlight of our South Island experience.

Pros: Shirley and Alistair were wonderful hosts. The rooms were immaculately clean.

Pros: Interesting property in quiet surroundings. Great breakfast and good hosts

Pros: Lovely hosts, helpful and informative about local activities. Helpful also providing information on the next leg of our journey. Very comfortable bed and gorgeous view from room and communal lounge area with fantastic sunny deck. A little out of town but worth it for view and surrounds (not even 5 minutes). Stay here if you want a quiet and comfortable relaxing stay. We stayed after catching the Tranzalpine from Christchurch - well worth the stay. Also great recommendation of both Ali’s kitchen for late lunch and the Albion bar(kingsgate hotel).

Cons: Nothing

Pros: breakfast was superb.The room was modern,clean and warm. The owner used his personal transport to firstly pick us up from the rail station,dropped us into town later for dinner then out to Shantytown the following morning

Pros: Felt like we had a remote little cottage. Access to the hot tub and Sauna was fantastic!

Pros: Beautiful surroundings and lovely owner would definitely go again

Pros: Our experience at Oak Lodge left us feeling that we should have booked more homestays for our month long tour of New Zealand rather than the motels that we used elsewhere. This property had the wow factor as soon as we stepped in through the door. Alastair and Shirley were exceptionally welcoming hosts and had much to tell us about the local area. We had the fabulous balcony room with amazing views over the wonderful New Zealand countryside.Extra bonuses included a tour of the property which involved an opportunity to feed the small flock of sheep Alastair keeps on the property and goldfish in the garden pond. We even managed to fit in a couple of games of pool before bed. The very tasty breakfast was a welcome change from the self made breakfasts we had been used to in our other accommodation. The guest lounge was spacious, comfortable, and well laid out with usual kitchen facilities you would find in a motel. If you are stopping in Greymouth we would certainly recommend a stay here.

Pros: Beach close by

Pros: The staff/Manager was so lovely which makes all the difference. The only problem we had was the TV reception which is pretty bad in Greymouth sometimes anyway, If we hadn’t have arrived so late we may have been able to ask the staff for help but apart from the TV everything else was great. I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels at $1599 per nite and I’ve stayed at 3 star motels that shouldn’t have gotten 3 stars but this place deserves atleast 4.5 - 5 stars

Cons: The room was very dated and bathroom very worn out. bed uncomfortable.

Pros: Renovated room the restaurant meal was very good I had the slow cooked lamb

Cons: Although renovations are going on it was very noisy hallways and some parts of renovated still look very tired

Pros: The bed was not uncomfortable.

Cons: The room badly needs a make-over. Worn out furniture, peeling laminate on the work top, etc. Worst of all, the bathroom was extremely cold because neither window would shut into its frame, and one pane was already cracked. Showering was worse than being at camp in winter, and the draught carried into the bedroom. The toilet bowl was cracked under the seat. As a guest, I shouldn't have to report either fault. Basic housekeeping should have dealt with these faults, ages ago. Breakfast was average-poor. Tinned fruit? In New Zealand? No choice of egg apparent or offered. Poor coffee. When I mentioned the bathroom at reception, "I'll get it looked at tomorrow". We were staying one night.

Pros: Room was lovely and clean
