Review of Sundowner Motel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Feb 2024via mobile
We were met by Pauline at the railway station who drove us to the motel which was a stones throw away.
We were in an upstairs room with an elevated view - the owners were friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The unit was spotless with excellent shower pressure.
Date of stay: February 2024
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

The host Abby was welcoming and happy to greet us. The room spotless and the little extras delightful. Close to train station and town centre. Comfy and warm, great view. One of the best. Highly recommended

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.

Room tip: It has a laundry and a limited room service menu.

Comfortable quiet room. ..yep…double glazing. The owners really had gone to a lot of trouble to make the guests comfortable…nice soap and shampoo…large rooms with beautiful bathrooms. Free powder for washing machine.
Very close to information centre,countdown,subway, and the ware house were everyone gets a bargain and I managed to pick up a decent sun hat and some sun cream for the Paparoa track

Room tip: Plenty of parking. Nice and close to train station, complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate

We stayed the night after coming across from Christchurch on the Trans Alpine train. (And that is such a wonderful trip in itself- thoroughly recommend it) Murray and Wendy are great hosts, friendly and helpful and able to point us towards interesting things to do around Greymouth while we were there. Their units are spotless, all our basic requirements were covered and the shower is amazing. Full on hot and abundant! Murray dropped us back to the train the next day and when my husband discovered he had left his jacket in the back of the car, Murray made it back down to the train station with said item of clothing, just before the train departed. He definitely went above and beyond expectations.
