Theatre Royal Hotel

Very nice hotel. We stayed in one of the miner cottages. Large, comfortable, and very tastefully decorated with nice china and some antique touches. One bonus is that there is a glowworm site that is beautiful and private. You take a path behind the parking lot about 50m into the bush where there is a cave entrance. The glowworms are just at the entry (do not go into the cave!). Recommend taking the path during the day so you know the way.

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.

Came here tonight with my partner in our travels, haven't been in before, noticed that all the girls had really lovely table service was chatting to all the customers and was really friendly! A lady name Tabby served us and she was amazing! Unfortunately there was a Indian guy at the bar and he was extremely rude didn't know much about the alcohol he was serving which obviously isn't very convenient considering he works in a bar!!!! Along with being extremely rude he was unable to do his job even properly when he checked our IDs even though we were clearly over age he didn't even check the back only glimpsing at the front of the ID's, considering I seen his name as Judy manager I would like to think that he would be doing his job properly and know what he's talking about. I think this place could be a lot better atmosphere if there was better customer service and more knowledge around products!

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

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 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.

Wow! What a find. Like stepping back in time about 50 years. |The hotel was super busy due to an agricultural fair down the road when we visited. |Two female members of staff were working so hard ( one an older lady - the other younger with an accent from SA) They were such grafters- plus polite , welcoming and friendly after our horrendously wet Arthur’s pass drive.|We were stationed away from the hotel in a time warp bungalow that reminded me of my grandmothers house. The beds were very comfortable and the space neat & clean.|Breakfast at the hotel was fairly continental but presented well

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.
