The Duke Hostel, hotel in Kumara

Located in the center of Greymouth, The Duke Hostel offers free unlimited WiFi throughout the property and a fully equipped guest kitchen.

For a hostel, we thought it was quite nice and had a lot of personality. Both the outside & inside of the hostel is quite colorful, giving the whole place a quirky touch. Stayed in a room with private bathroom, which was clean, and the hostel even provided bath towels to our surprise. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies and utensils, and in the shared space, there are hot water bags that you can fill up to help heat your bed.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The cottage we were given looked tiny from the outside but was spacious and had plenty of room for four adults with two enormous bed and 1 separate bedroom. The bathroom was amazing. Loved the vintage touches with the old style writing desk table and vintage bath in the bathroom. Great to have laundry close at hand and safe bike storage
