We came to this place on the recommendation of the Sept 2010 Lonely Planet. It said they had free internet. We got there and we were told that the internet had a charge something like 2 or 5 dollars and hour and that instead of $30 it was now $35 for a powered site. When we mentioned that the book... More

I'm one for first impressions and what a wonderful welcome. Owner had a great sense of humour and if I was so exhausted I would have stayed and chatted for longer. I stayed in a cabin and it did smell a bit musty but then I understand the floods that happened in the area in the past and the Kingsgate... More

I have stayed at quite a few holiday parks during my six months of traveling in New Zealand. This was definitely the best, mainly because the owners were SO friendly and accommodating. It was also nice to have a spa on site and a beach right behind the campsite. I definitely recommend this park!

We stayed for one night, wished it could have be longer. The 2 bedroomed unit was large and well equipped, even with its own garden. It was spotlessly clean and the owner very helpful and friendly. The position of the motel was right by the beach - what more could you want. Thank you

We stayed in a tourist flat. Basic facilities, also noted the sign stating no cooking of curries or fish in room "otherwise additional fee may occur". I was rather nervous about cooking at all and made sure all windows and doors were open to allow adequate ventilation. As noted by other reviewers, we also received a room closest to the... More

Hi. Thank you for your comments. I am happy that you found us friendly and seemingly only semi-approachable, as you did not come and pass on your concerns to us at the time of your stay. The two tourist flats (budget units) that we have are the closest units to the road. As you mentioned we were not full at... More

We had a tourist flat had an damp musty odor but otherwise was clean. Basic facilities good enough for an overnight stay. Our room closes to the road made it quite noisy.

Fantastic service, great people very good value for money here. Includes free spa and has a little playground. Very close to beach, just one road separating you. Downside was we were in closest unit to road which was awful. Lots of milk tankers, boy racers and other trucks during the night. As the motel wasn't full maybe they should let... More

Close to the beach, 5km from Greymouth center which is not crowded at all. We had a large unit, bedroom and living room separately, with full kitchen, windows a bit old. Overall a great stay. Greymouth is a good base to explore Punakaiki and Hokitika.
