Noah's Ark Backpackers

This place was so cute! The theme was really sweet and although the facilities were a bit dated, it was still homely

是個百年的老房子，家庭式旅店，老闆夫婦不住在這裏，僱了背包客打理。超喜歡這裏，有大家庭的感覺，並且遇到很多有才華有意思的各國背包客。

臨時訂的，好久沒有住過共用衞生間的酒店了。幸好房裡還有個洗手池。難得的是一堆年輕人住一棟樓裏還非常安靜，休息得很好。

Great people in command, room was great. A few kitchen implements missing though the main stuff was all there....Thanks for a good stay. Roger

Old and worn but nice and cosy hostel. Beatiful old house with a small garden. Nice staff. Situated in the centre of the town. Close to (to walk to) the railway station (I traveled by train), restaurants, large grocery store, other shops, bike rental, car rental, nature and harbour walks. Greymouth is a small town but still the largest town on the other side (the least populated side) of New Zealand's South Island. Common kitchen and common room, as you expect in a hostel. Easy to meet new people. There were no lockers for luggage or valuables. But that is probably not necessary at this place. There was only a single power socket in the whole (dormitory) room. There was, however, a multiple socket extension lead so that there was a power socket for each guest in the room. But there was no power socket close to each bed, something which is important today with our dependence on smartphones. The only important negative thing for me with the hostel was the lack of a power socket at each bed.

Very cool hosts and loads of character with the property and extremely convenient!

Service was poor from the start. I had to wait some time while she fussed over an American couple. When I finally got served a very poor attitude come across. Didn't mention wi fi to me nor towels/face cloth, I had to come down & ask. Sink taps at end of hall for monkey room-hot tap didn't work at all & cold tap so loose you could the whole tap through 90 degrees. Our dorm fairly full & I on top bunk. Some clown came in at midnight & turned his cell phone on & started fossicking amongst his gear. Woke me up & god knows how many others. Place was in poor state of repair. Look run down.

Really enjoyed my stay here (3days) in shared dorm run ...lots of fun. Harry and Linda were great hosts and I will be returning next year. Thanks for all the help and hope to see you both soon Shane Wyber Timaru

Great place to stay if your in Greymouth and on a budget. Staff are wonderful, facilities are great. Place is always clean and tidy and is very close to the center of town. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
