the sport facilities were top-notch and I enjoyed using the clean pools and soccer fields. the receptionists were kind and helpful, and the staff at the hotel and restaurant went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. the terrace of my room was a nice bonus, and the air conditioning worked perfectly well. the overall design of the hotel was nice, and the property itself was large and impressive. The gym was excellent, allowing me to keep up with my fitness routine. Cons: Everything about my stay at Grande Casa was great! 😊.

Great introduction and familirisation with the venue and the town activites and points of interest. location is excellent and great access to all things to do in Greymouth Great interaction with others in the bar who were also staying Access to 24 hour cofee/tea and dining facility Comp cards for drinks in the onsite bar are a good idea and very reasonable, however make sure you only have the 1 paid to get the second drink free as the prices are slightly higher that the other bars locally

The pictures were not truly representative of the site, it is tired looking and could do with a revamp throughout. If your idea of breakfast is tea/cofee and toast with jam then this will suit you well, however if you want continental or cooked best to look elsewhere or go down the road to the nearest cafe (4 doors away) Be prepared to supply your own milk for hot drinks as this is not supplied and not mentioned in the advert The bed in the room we used with it's own ensuite could do with replacing as it is firm and very squeaky not good for adult bedroom behaviours if you are a smoker the facilities do not provide covered seated areas for you, there is only the balcony out the front which does not have an ashtray This is definitely a Backpackers of a lower order if you want cheap, comfortable and just a stopover then this the place for you

Was upgraded to an ensuite room with bathroom upon arrival and the host has good sense of hospitality.

-Dodgy broken room door. -Not flexible check out time. -Deposit was held. -Breakfast was somewhat un hygienic (Jam was uncovered)

The restaurant here was top-notch 🍽️. Great value for such an awesome location. And having a swimming pool to chill by was a nice extra touch for unwinding.

The Staff/owners were wonderful and very welcoming. would definately stay there again without question.

location within 2 miles of apparition hill. nice building.

We loved the beautiful park setting, great swimming pool, and the farewell present of a bottle of wine. The staff were very informative about the nearby attractions.

Felt very relaxed, no reason to complain.

During our 4 week trip in New Zealand we stayed in many different hostels, but the Duke Hostel was definitely the best of them. Sosh, the owner of the hostel was absolutely friendly and courteous. We really enjoyed our stay there. Während unserer 4-wöchigen Neuseeland Reise waren wir in vielen verschiedenen Hostels, das Duke Hostel war aber eindeutig das beste. Sosh, der Besitzer war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben unseren aufenthalt, in diesem freundlichen Hostel sehr genossen.

very nice staff, center location, bar and playing room...funny multicolor hostel, breakfast was included that was really surprising for this money. I liked staying there.

no questions to hostel.... city in general is quite boring.

Loved the excitement of trying to find the hidden entrance, and the anticipation of exploring the huge hotel and sports complex. The self-contained bungalow was spacious and a bargain. Breakfast was great and the staff spoke perfect English. Perfect for families.

Really enjoyed the tired appearance of the buildings, especially the construction zone surprise outside my room. The restaurant was a pub - I much prefer a fine dining experience.

All the things that were available to do there eg. movies and pool etc.

The awesome host/manager was welcoming, facilities were very good.

The staff was lovely. Great pool and delicious breakfast. So many activities to choose from!

Just my luck that the outdoor pools were closed and the location was a disaster. Checked out immediately.

Manager was the nicest I have met in my trip. Helped with activities reservations, and gave tips on visits. Old building, but very colourful. Bar on the ground floor, but no noise upstairs. Was upgraded to a bigger room, with a very comfy large bed and a sink. Free soup every night.

One little thing : wifi only worked in the common room but not upstairs.

Nice kitchen and free soup and breakfest (toast and jam)
