We stayed here Boxing Day 2011; It was just gorgeous- homely, relaxed and Sharon and Michael were so friendly. Their son Harry served us with fresh pineapple! very highly recommended if you are travelling from Greymouth to Fox Glacier or Franz Josef. Breakfast was excellent

We stayed at New River Blue Gums in March of this year in a cottage suite which we couldnt fault. Sharron and Michael were very welcoming and helpful with local knowledge and suggestions of places we should visit. The breakfast was delicious. This was a lovely family B and B and we would highly recommend it to our friends. We... More

We stayed in early March and were disappointed by the accomodations. We stayed in the Tui Room, which was smaller than we expected and not as clean as we would expect and there was no lock on the bedroom door. The "family room", which we had to walk thru to get to our bedroom, was cluttered with childrens toys as... More

We stayed here on our 11 day road trip in Feb. I am sorry to say that this was the only B&B on our journey that I was disappointed in. We stayed in the house in the Tui Room. I guess I expect a B&B to be very clean. Between the mass amount of toys and cobwebs I did not... More

This was a return visit for us as we always manage to relax immediatly on arrival! The hosts Sharon, Michael and Harry included make us feel welcome and are helpful with local attractions to experience. We stayed in the upstairs room, and have previously stayed in the cottages always enjoying a good sleep in the comfortable beds. The location is... More

A touch of country paradise...... Perfect location to relax and enjoy the country surroundings. Hosts were very welcoming and ensured we were comfortable. Hospitality was nothing short of fantastic with all the little touches. Unit size was great for us and the kids....and to be able to enjoy the main house facilities was a bonus. Would highly recommend to others.

We stayed there for one night in February. Due to the very good reviews here we booked and paid 170NZ$ long in advance. We cannot express how disappointed we were. The welcoming was nothing as described in the web site. We only received a small nylon bag with some frozen brownies… The location is terrible. They say it's in Greymouth... More

Wow - after 14 years in the business, this is completely opposite to all reviews and comments we have received and the first of its kind and we feel requires response. Facts - the brownie is complimentary (recipe has gone all around the world), the whole kitchen in homestead is available for the Tui room use. The drive to Greymouth... More

We stopped at this beautiful peace of property for a short one-nighter. Would be the perfect place to stay a bit longer. Spacious apartment in a separated building from the house with outdoor bath tub and patio. Charming hosts, calfs next door and all sorts of birds and nature. Breakfast is cooked to your liking in the main house. The... More

We had a wonderful stay here! We felt so at home - and no wonder, we stayed in the home of our wonderful hosts, Sharon, Mike and Harry. We opted for the room on the ground floor of the house where they were staying. It was nice and it really felt like home - with TV to watch, a sofa... More
