It certainly isn't anything fancy or frilly but rooms are clean and basic which equals good value. Meals are excellent. Like most places now seem high though. Agree with other comments regarding poor wi fi signal. Overall a great little place. Greymouth lacks much in the way of food places but this made up for it. Only downside its too... More

The chefs on the night (Muresh and Ronny) were run off their feet catering to the continual flow of guests through the door. That says... More

I was referred here by a well meaning motel owner. The food was absolutely shocking- actually inedible, oredered the lamb drum, as tough as an old boot, ate 2 or 3 bites-yuk!!! and didn't eat it- no flavour at all either, not cheap either- $32 for whitebait patties which were crap, as we were still hungry we went for desert...
