Noah's Ark Backpackers has free bikes, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Greymouth. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The new owners (Dec 2024) are very hard working. The kitchen has a great work space, fridges,etc. They are working at updating the older building... it used to be a rectory, it is gorgeous. I would definitely stay there again, towels need to be rented.

Situated in Ruatapu, 50 km from Greymouth Railway Station, Lake Mahinapua Hotel has a number of amenities including a garden, a restaurant, a bar and free WiFi. The hostel has a hot tub and evening entertainment. The accommodation was so thoroughly cleaned, the bed was really comfortable, there was a table to eat - I did not miss a thing. But mostly, the staff was so incredibly kind and hospitable. When I arrived at Lake Mahinapua, I had caught quite a bad fever and they did absolutely everything to make sure I was looked after (from giving me a room on a more quiet side of the complex, to making sure I had eaten, et cetera). Words cannot express how much I did appreciate that as a solo traveller.
