Hotel terbaik di Geraldine Downs

Great stay in Geraldine, not far from the centre of town (5min drive). We stayed mid winter but the room was nice and warm. Comfy bed and great shower. Host, Ken and Jenny were helpful and friendly and we had an outstanding cooked breakfast. This house is in a beautiful garden setting. Ken is happy to give you a quick tour and is a very knowledgeable gardener. This was a great find and the reviews reflect the excellent quality and value of this B&B. The Indian restaurant (Jenny recommended) in town is excellent, one of the better Indians we have had anywhere.

We booked into this motel because it was an ”Asure” and the motel chain had a promotion going during our 4 week South Island tour. We paid $154.00 for a one night stay. It was all a bit average on the inside so not that memorable. The kitchen cooking utensils were motel average poor quality. Not sure it deserves a 4 star rating. The main problem though was..... on first entry into the bathroom all I could smell was ”urine”. I mean it was strong! I was so disappointed as the bathroom looked clean and tidy but where was the pong coming from?. Then I spotted the base of the toilet where it connects to the lino/tile (cant remember which it was). All around the base was a dirty brown colouring (eeeew) and no sealant. This is where the hideous smell is coming from.... years and years of scum going down into this crack. I was too embarassed to tell the owners, we left as soon as possible the next morning. I dont remember the room number but it was the one at the end of the right hand building up against the bank at the back of the property. As an architectural designer I suggest pulling out the toilet and flooring and either thoroughly cleaning the area (scraping off scum), or replacing it all. Then.....make sure you put sealant like silicone, all around the bottom of the toilet, ensuring that your cleaners dont damage it when they clean. Also, I used the laundry and my black clothes came out covered in white powder. Giant Motel commercial laundry machines and driers are just too basic and harsh for new clothing.

Fantastic hosts and great funky rooms, everything you need, not over the top but always clean, tidy and perfectly presented. John and Sandra can't be beaten for looking after their guests, really pleasant and welcoming people. Each room has an entirely different colour and theme, so pick a different room each time you stay to enjoy an entirely different decor. Ask Sandra for decorating tips - but steer John on to horses, probably safer than asking him if pastels are in this season. Easy wander into town through the park to enjoy Geraldine's charms.

Arrived late and not sure as to where we are staying and found this must stay again gem. The place was the quietest place we have stayed on our Southland visit and while arriving late entered into a well lite and very warm spaces room. The staff are so friendly and made you laugh with the warm conversations and the owners are beautiful friendly and a lovely welcome from there cute little dog. We will be back next year on our southern travels this place was what we needed for sure.

We stayed here for two nights to explore the area. It’s squeaky clean and comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy bed and lounge chairs. Even though we had one of the units by the road, the sound proofing and insulation is good and we weren’t bothered by road noise at all. It was cool the few days we were here, but we didn’t need to worry. There’s a nice, quiet wall heater instead of an annoying heat pump, an extra blanket and even an electric bed warmer. Black on Gray is now our favourite place to stay when we’re in the lovely town of Geraldine

Beds were super comfy and our 2 bedroom room was huge! great for young children with plenty of space inside and the lawn right out the back door. Motel is the cleanest I have ever seen and was great that the room got refreshed when we were out. The owner was great to us and showed my husband to our room plus turned on the heater which was awesome when we were getting in late at night. We hardly noticed the traffic on Sunday morning but was a bit louder on Saturday - nothing some ear plugs can't fix. We will definitely be choosing to stay at the phoenix motel again.
