very clean room. Back off the road so very quiet and got a good nights sleep. Comfy bed. Friendly hosts. We would recommend this motel. Supermarket and Warehouse across the road a real plus. We will stay again.

After arriving in Greymouth and concluding that our original accommodation was not suitable, we were recommended that we try the Sundowner Motel - this was a fantastic move and both my mother and I had really comfortable, clean and spacious rooms. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful and we would highly recommend if staying in Greymouth.

Located just uphill from the station, this is a well-run motel with good-sized rooms. As the walk isn’t too easy with luggage (there are large branches of The Warehouse and Countdown in the way), the pick-up from the train was most welcome, as was the return drop-off the next afternoon. The in-room wi-fi wasn’t the fastest ever, but was included... More

Had one nights stay in this lovely motel. everything was clean and tidy and the owners have thought of evertything that you might need for self catering on a small scale. we stayed at the front on the first floor, and it was beautiful. we would certainly come back and would highly reccomend it to others

Found Murray and Wendy to be the most lovely and understanding people we have met on our trip so far, they were very happy to look after our luggage prior to our check in. And they provided us with a homely, clean, spacious and very pleasant accomodation. Without a doubt the best accomodation we have found in New Zealand so... More

Ideal place to stay if coming by train. It is a very comfortable motel close to the station and the town centre. Owner not only meets the train but, on the morning we left, drove us to the mouth of the river to the see the waves before leaving us at the station. The only downside was that, understandably, we...
