Greymouth KIWI Holiday Parks & Motels
It was to be able to get two bedroom accomodation for such a good price. We were attending a funeral so there was little time to find something suitable. I would book again in future

Friendly staff. The room is clean, tidy and the bed is comfortable. Sadly the motel WiFi didn't work from inside the room, and the heater didn't heat up properly.
