Staff was helpful and chatty, everyone we met was friendly, kitchen had all we needed and we enjoyed spending time in the shared areas. Bathrooms are basic but ok.

I was traveling solo with my infant. The whole vibe at Noah’s Ark is so great. Harry and Linda - the owners - are amazing and the staff has been very friendly and welcoming. I even extended my stay there and had a lovely time there. There is a big kitchen, lounge, and dining space. The location is also perfect. You can make your base there and go for day trips to Franz Josef, Punakaiki, Hokitika, etc. Very close to the i-site.

The building itself is great - I loved all the period features and quirky decor. Wonderful location, just minutes from the centre of town, the train station, the Intercity bus stop, and a large supermarket. The room felt very spacious and bright. The outside areas were lovely too, with a large garden and a wrap-around verandah. There were washing machines available for 4 dollars (coins only).

A very nice ambience in this historic house, lovely touches with the paintings on wall & each room individulized & colourful. We loved our room with windows on 2 sides where we could soak in afternoon sun. Well stocked kitchen & quality linens. Host took time to chat with us at length - Very much appreciated the ride he gave us to restaurant when there was a long wait for a taxi & we had a reservation.

This was my second time staying here and I'd stay here every time I go to Greymouth. From check in to check out the owners made it a lovely experience. They had a little calm dog walking around. The rooms are super clean and spacious (I got window bed with no bunk attached!!) Location is amazing and the hostel was very welcoming for solo traveller's. Outdoor lawn in the back too, 10/10 place

One of the best hostels in New Zealand, where I stayed. Owners are suuuuper nice! It is clean, room was good and bed is comfortable. It is very hygenic. Kitchen is well equipped, there is free coffee and tea! I even extended my stay with 2 extra nights! They also let you use the bike for free! Highly suggest to visit the Point of Elizabeth!

Overall was an amazing experience would highly recommend to future occupants looking at coming to stay here. The owners were lovely and made you feel welcome and comfortable expecially on Xmas they made me feel apart of their whanau. The bathrooms were always cleaned to perfection. The rooms were spacious and kitchen was greatly organised. The piano and guitars for use were an upgrade and just set the ambiance of the whole place. And to top it all off the views from the balcony overlooking the ocean in the distance and the view of surrounding mountains. Loved and enjoyed it so much decided to stay an extra week.
