Ryes place was very nice, clean and the furnishings were great. We had a nice chat with his dad Michael who told us he made some of the furnishings. He gave us some great travel tips. The studio was super clean with breakfast options and upscale linens and bedding. We would definitely recommend Ryes studio if you are looking for a place in Greymouth. It was easy to travel to the glaciers and Hokita Gorge from the studio. We even had a beautiful sunset the first night.
