Theatre Royal Hotel

Oozing with style , We recently stayed here overnight on the way through to Greymouth on a Cycle Journeys Tour. The accommodation was fantastic large cabins (we had a 2 bedroom cabin) . Comfortable beds , lovely spacious bathrooms with a bath tub. Our cabin had a verandah with outdoor seating. There was numerous Ebike charging sheds that are secure & a laundry. We also had a few beers at the hotel very happy with cold beer Heineken on tap & friendly staff. Our dinner was great & the restaurant was pretty full so I recommend booking in advance. Theres a piano in the hotel & we were fortunate enough to have some music throughout our dinner. There’s plenty of outdoor seating for you to enjoy. Breakfast in the morning was just what you need before setting off on the bike. The same as anywhere on the west Coast Trail take plenty of sand fly repellant for outdoors. The only thing to mention is that you have to drag or carry your bag through deep gravel to your cabin if you don’t have a car. (We probably could’ve asked for staff to deliver it in the bus but we didn’t). Highly recommended.

Recently had my wedding near Kumara, and the service from Theatre Royal was outstanding. Not only did we have a beautiful bridal suite in the Victoria rooms, but all of the hotel staff were so helpful for last minute wedding organisation and problem solving. A rather last minute large booking for dinner was no sweat! The hotel manager went above and beyond to help me. I would recommend to anyone wanting a unique, memorable experience with amazing service.

What a find ! Great meet and greet at check in and a super comfy cabin for the night. The restaurant and bar were great with a good menu. The whitebait fritter was outstanding ! Best one I have tasted for a long time. Personality plus Sinny at the bar was a laugh a minute and very attentive . This place caters for everyone. Never judge a book by its cover. This is a gem. Even the Glow worm cave at the back of the cabins gave an outstanding performance Super to support local West Coast people offering great places to experience

What a lovely hotel. I was traveling with Moa Tours and we made a morning tea stop here and picked up our packed lunches for the day. The bar person was lovely and coped well with our hot drinks order for our tour group. The packed lunches were lovely and filling. Well worth a stop.

We stayed in a miner's cottage. It was large and very comfortable, very tastefully decorated. One bonus is that there is a path behind the parking lot into the bush for a beautiful, private glowworm display (it is about 50m from the parking lot). You will need to go after dark and it would be a good idea to walk the path first when there is light.

We stayed in the Dick Seddon suite. It was extremely comfortable with an eclectic range of antiques. The bed was excellent, as was the shower. We had plenty of room to rest and relax and to enjoy our environment. The hotel with bar and restaurant was across the road. We also had easy access to the many signboards throughout Kumara that told of its past.

Stayed here on a stopover during my Great Wilderness Trail ride. Very quaint and super comfortable hotel. Although the restaurant was closed on that day they took the trouble to bake a couple of pizzas for me and my fellow rider due to limited dining options in town. Service was friendly and warm, it's just like coming home. The cottage we stayed in was goodly sized and comfortable. Highly recommended.

This is a hidden gem, from the road the rooms looked small, we thought just another basic room and to our surprise we had 2 bedrooms, large bathroom, kitchen and dining area, what a bonus! Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Such a lovely surprise after long drive. Thank you

This hotel is adorable. Has colonial charm, the dinner at the restaurant was delicious, the staff just lovely. It's truly charming, but the beds! The beds are seriously too soft and lumpy. Not sure if theyvare from the 1809's but please, BUY NEW BEDS PLEASE.
