My wife and I were travelling from Christchurch and back on the Tranzalpine, a must for anyone exploring New Zealand, and we decided to do it over two days and stay overnight in Greymouth. The room is spotlessly clean, spacious and even comes with a basically equipped galley kitchen. Fresh milk is provied. None of that UHT muck. The lady on reception was ery welcoming and helpful. They supply umbrellas for use when it is raining.
