Big disappointment. This ensuite has a private bathroom, but most other rooms in this building have to share a common bathroom, which means even in our private room we heard everything through the thin walls whenever a neighbor left their room and used the toilet.
The place was loud in general, and not a "boutique hotel" in any sense. More like a hostel. Kitchen area was a common space, but was only big enough for 1 person to use at a time. Kitchen and common lounge/living room were right on the other side of the wall from our bed. We could hear a girl sitting in the lounge just talking on the phone late at night. Slept terribly on the worn out, lumpy, springy mattress. Woke up at 5am because the guests across the hall decided to make breakfast, and we could hear everything.
The bathroom sink is basically unusable. There are 2 faucets, 1 knob each. The left faucet spits scalding hot water the right only pours out ice cold water, and they are on opposite sides of the basin, far apart.
The heat fan in the room was old and worn out, did not run steadily. Wifi was unreliable. This place is just not worth the money in any way.
Reefton isn't much of a destination, probably better to stay at Greymouth if you're only passing through.
