Reviewed By Han_yinuOver the years we have stayed in various rooms and apartments here and it is exactly as it describes, a country hotel catering for the urban market. This time we stayed in the White room upstairs and this has an outlook out the back of the property so I'm guessing it is quieter than the street facing rooms. The room is large and spacious with a kitchen cupboard, lounge and entrance areas and separate spacious bathroom with bath and a very small shower. On the cleaning/housekeeping front: Please install a soap dispenser in the shower cubicle or supply a couple of pieces of soap. The tiles in the shower has very unsightly black mould. BIG TIP: Use Janola/Bleach Toilet Duck (it banishes the black mould instantly). The wooden bathroom floor, I suspect is swept but it needs a regular mop clean (it was dirty). The windows also need a clean (cobwebs, bird poo) very unsightly. (my partner noticed this) Instead of the sachets of dishwash be more environmentally friendly by supplying a small (refillable) bottle of dishwash. as the landfill does not need more discarded bits of plastic. Recommend to book in advance for Fri/Sat night dining; we had a meal in the Bar dining room and it was fine (F & C's and a Burger). The service throughout was very good. Due to deal we had, there were complimentary beverages for us in our room. Much appreciated. We did enjoy our stay and would return.

Lovely place to stay in Greytown
Reviewed By KiwiAussie11Location in Greytown = perfect For people with a disability it’s well laid out. Everything looks well kept and the people really wanted to help. Beds were good, the heating good, just right for a wet weekend in my case… Tonnes of cafes & restaurants close by also which makes a difference.

Warm cosy comfortable and private
Reviewed By travellingbuzzWhat more could you ask for. We stayed in Shy Cottage for just one night. Everything is very efficient with a pin code for the key e mailed to you. We never met the owners but their correspondence says that they are available if you need. They had left the cottage warm which was lovely as we arrived in the early evening in not great weather. There is tons of space for 2 people and you can just relax. Fantastic bathroom amenities and excellent hot drink options. We would certainly return.
5. Greytown Campground
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
Picturesque campground set amidst mature native bush. Situated down a quiet side street, but only 500 metres away from the centre of Greytown village, cafe, and shops. 30 Powered sites and 55 unpowered sites. Two amenity blocks with full facilities and one of these also has wheelchair access. A children's playground and non-heated swimming pool (only open in summer) are immediately adjacent to the campground, as well as the local tennis courts, which are available to hire.
The last stay
Reviewed By Peter RCamped here very regularly over the last few years. It’s a blissful site, tucked amongst trees on the fringe of a mellow town. The campsite is meticulously managed. There’s something old fashioned about it, which is absolutely not a veiled suggestion that the place is beyond sell by date. It’s amenities are on the mark and spruce and cared for. A wonderful site for children and in a beautiful neighbourhood. Ken and Nina manage this place with warmth, kindness and commitment. Hospitality at its very best. Sadly, no more staying here. Moving permanently, just down the road - lock, stock and dogs. That’s how seductive this camp ground and its hosts are.

Reviewed By skiwi0We stayed here during Easter. Our apartment was at rear of the property. The owner has created a lovely and tastefully decorated little oasis which is perfect - some real thought and care has gone into all the decisions made in setting this up, right down to the personalised instructions on arrival - a very classy touch. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely three night visit and I would go back if ever in that area. The fire was always burning was so nice to walk in to a lovely warm place as we had had snow which was exciting.
9. Greytown Hotel

The Greytown Hotel, set in the heart of the Wairarapa and considered to be one of the oldest hotels in New Zealand.
Great food.
Reviewed By Jo1970NZWe were a group of MG enthusiasts after a busy day of events. Our booking was for 6 but most of us arrived much earlier. They were most accomadating and happy to provide drinks in the restaurant area. The food was tapa style and so yummy. We had the king salmon, cured meat lamb kebabs, pork belly and a salad. I also had the plum dumplings as a pud. All highly recommended especially the beetroot cured salmon. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. Good service especially chatting with the Austrian chef. Good wine list and hubby was most impressed by the Irish whiskey list. We will be back.
10. Arbor Motel

Great for a longer stay--more space, kitchenette
Reviewed By LindaG4870Rolling into Greytown the Sunday after Christmas, we were lucky to land the Large One Bedroom Unit. Check-in and check-out are at the pub counter of the Greytown Hotel next door. This type of motel gives a taste of how kiwi families travel. In addition to the double and single bed in the separate bedroom, there were 2 single beds in the lounge. My husband, who has a bad back, found one of them had the firmest mattress. The lounge was huge, with a sofa and small table and chairs. The kitchenette with microwave provided basic plates and cutlery. Wash your dishes before you leave. Basic accommodation but spacious, pleasant, and good value.
