Firstly, booked with preference of two Double beds as there were three adults. Was given one double and two single, they said that it was hotels.com issue as you place us in the unit and after some searching and after us confirming nothing had been used moved us to our preferred unit. Taps dripped, no dishwashing liquid, had to go asking for some. The pool water was green and unswimable. We were with another party with children, when they went to platy on the playground it was unsafe. With broken parts, metal bits. They need to update their website to reflect when services are not available as they are part of the reason we booked there with the children in mind. In all honesty we will not be staying there again and we would not be recommending them either.

Not outstanding
Probably the best thing was the spa/bath which was a welcome to see after a long days driving. The wifi was poor a lot of the time we were there.

Greymouth stopover
A stopover in Greymouth to catch the train in the morning. This motel was suitably priced for its age and amenities. The room was spotless. WiFi was limited so that was disappointing and the motel is a long way out of Greymouth and on a busy road but the sea is directly behind. We drove down the road to the Ashley Hotel and had a great dining experience and used their free wifi. Kitchen amenities were great and there is a children’s playground and pool for travelling families.

Great customer service from reception. A little out of town which wasnt a problem for us. We had a few things in the room which werent working, didnt effect our stay but did inform the reception. Our room was a good size and the heating provided was adequate. Beds were comfy. The playground is very run down and looked a little dangerous for my little ones. We didnt use the pool but it looked a little dirty and the spa was so full of chlorine that it bleached our swimmers. Right on the beach and the kids loved walking down and building stone and driftwood structures. We enjoyed our stay but the place could do with a little TLC.

Convenient location for our requirements and all we needed. There is noise from the highway, but we didn't find it to be a major problem. I did feel that it was slightly overpriced for what it was, comparing it with other places we have stayed on our travels through NZ.

Great for kids
Stayed one night with my husband and 2 young children- the room was tidy and comfortable. My kids spent most of their time at the playground, in the pool or talking to the 2 horses in the paddock next door. Was a nice place to stay on our way down the West Coast

Suitable for a short stay
We overnighted here in a 2 bedroom unit. 2 adult couples. Enough space and room for us. The room was towards the back and was away from traffic noise. The weather wasn't great for a walk on the beach but it's so close you could hear it from bed. Would be lovely in good weather I bet! No screens on windows (but this seems a common thing in places we've stayed in NZ. Reception was helpful and check in and out smooth.

This is an excellent family location--huge playground, swimming pool and a very short walk thru the backyard to the pebbled beach of crashing waves.It even had the walking/biking trail parallel to the beach. Truly a lucky find at a great price!
