Great atmosphere and the rooms were made up nicely with each room having the theme of a certain animal from Noahs Ark. The staff was very helpful with tips on what to do around there.
Lack of maintenance and overall upkeep of the place. We looked forward to the Spa pool as advertised however we were told it required maintenance. We read on the website that there would be a small selection of coffee, cereal and toasts however there was none during our stay and it had appeared to be removed from the website. Enquired about the winter deal (pay for 2 night and get a 3rd free) after the phone call the owner changed the deal online and didnât honour it. Beds were also uncomfortable and extremely squeaky.
The property is like a villa from the last century, it has high ceilings and beautiful windows.
Every bedroom is dedicated to an animal and has well made, funny graffities on some walls.
Probably the quirkiest place I have ever stayed but in its unique style, it really does work. All the bedrooms are named after animals
The owners are super friendly and can't do enough, even the hostel dog is friendly ha ha.
Met some really nice people during my stay and would totally recommend it.
Clean, quiet, comfy ...and quirky!
Old and worn but nice and cosy hostel. Beatiful old house with a small garden. Nice staff.
Situated in the centre of the town. Close to (to walk to) the railway station (I traveled by train), restaurants, large grocery store, other shops, bike rental, car rental, nature and harbour walks. Greymouth is a small town but still the largest town on the other side (the least populated side) of New Zealand's South Island.
Common kitchen and common room, as you expect in a hostel. Easy to meet new people.
There were no lockers for luggage or valuables. But that is probably not necessary at this place.
There was only a single power socket in the whole (dormitory) room. There was, however, a multiple socket extension lead so that there was a power socket for each guest in the room. But there was no power socket close to each bed, something which is important today with our dependence on smartphones.
The only important negative thing for me with the hostel was the lack of a power socket at each bed.
