Container home - central warm private
We very much enjoyed our stay at Clair's place. It's a lovely place, close to a spectacular beach with a nice and sunny outside seating area.

Copthorne Hotel Greymouth
Very dated hotel. The room was not well kept with a very dated bathroom. Most surprisingly, it only included a fan. Surely, there are nicer places to stay in Greymouth. The staff was nice but I would never stay here again.
