Lovely place to stay in Greytown

Location in Greytown = perfect For people with a disability it’s well laid out. Everything looks well kept and the people really wanted to help. Beds were good, the heating good, just right for a wet weekend in my case… Tonnes of cafes & restaurants close by also which makes a difference.

Perfect stopover

We used this motel as an overnight stop on the way from Hawke's Bay to Wellington. It was clean and staff were friendly and we didn't hear much traffic noise, despite it being on the main highway. My only gripe, and it had nothing to to do with the motel, was that we stayed overnight on 28 Dec and there was very little open for meals. The Swan was open, but was full because almost everything else was shut.

Thanks for the great review Graham. Yes we were a bit frustrated ourselves that most restaurants were closed through the break.

Fantastic value in the heart of Greytown

Lovely, tidy, clean Motel in the middle of Greytown. Super comfy bed and great shower pressure, nice surroundings, lovely garden areas and very handy to the local supermarket for quick essential items. Short walking distance to all the lovely boutique shops and eateries. Easy access to the local bars and restaurants and a good overall spot to explore the general area from. Lovely management team, always willing to help. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Lovely motel with great service!

The motel was extremely clean and had everything we expected, even the air conditioning chiller that we needed due to the lovely warm weather. Even though it is on SH2 it was really quiet, and plenty of parking. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. They contacted us to let us know we had left a phone charger behind, offering to post it to us - great service.

Room Tip: Go for an early stroll around the backroads of Greytown (away from the main road) as it is quiet,...

The best Motel In Greytown

Perfect positioning and well appointed and spacious rooms. The proprietors could not have been more helpful on arrival. They had previously contacted me to see if we wanted a pair of single beds or a large king bed. Loved having that personal and friendly contact. As we had arrived from the Ferry and had an early start we opted to stay in and did not take the opportunity to have the 10% discount from The White Swan Restaurant which is almost opposite. We were also advised that if we wanted to have coffee in the morning and walk around the shops (gorgeous by the way) we could leave our car in the car park til we were done. I would totally recommend this lovely friendly hotel. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

The best motel in Greytown

Great spot, central location, clean, good parking, well priced. Hosts were really helpful, and very flexible given we had some late room changes. I would definitely recommend this motel as THE best place to stay in Greytown, no question….

Ordinary and very basic.

First the good. It was clean. Good shower. Central to Greytown shops. Other than that. .well, for the price I paid I felt ripped off. Very tiny room, about 6x10m including bed (hard and could feel the springs under me) kitchen bench (no stove top, no sink), and a bathroom/toilet. Ordinary and basic. In addition, staff sat outside my bedroom smoking (gross!) while manager discussed another staff member with them. Really inappropriate for customers to be hearing. Not much of a step up from a holiday camp cabin. At least at holiday camps you have access to other facilities. I dont mind going basic, but not when I am paying $170 (NZ) for the night. Disappointing.

Date of stay: October 2021Trip type: Travelled solo

Room Tip: Not worth the price. Try somewhere else.

Perfect location

We stayed the night here during the midwinter Christmas celebrations. The motel is in the perfect location to walk to the shops and The White Swan. They give you a discount card to use at the White Swan for drinks. The shops are nearby too.

Great stay - thank you

Very clean & comfortable, with a great location on the main street of Greytown, so within walking distance of some great restaurants. A nice bonus is that guests are given a discount card to use at the historic White Swan Hotel across the road. Ian & Michelle were very accommodating & are great hosts - thank you.
