★ 4.5 / 5 (3052 reviews)

Located just steps from the beach, this family-owned restaurant and hotel offers a stunning ambiance with friendly service. Guests appreciate the extensive gluten-free options and a menu that features both delicious starters and mains, though some have noted inconsistencies in portion sizes and flavor. While the atmosphere can be disrupted by loud events, the overall experience is enhanced by the welcoming staff and clean accommodations. The combination of quality food, hospitality, and seaside charm makes it a great choice for both dining and lodging.

Was User at Paroa a mag?
I have dined here frequently and have discovered that there are numerous excellent gluten-free options available. The chef is very knowledgeable about celiac disease. I highly recommend this place, but be sure to mention your celiac diagnosis when placing your order. View all feedback.

What Jane Crashley dislikes about Paroa:
So disappointed with the food tonight. Ordered lamb shank. Was bland and served with a small amount of gravy. Asked for more and was charged an extra $4.50 for a small jug even though I showed the waitress the stingy amount that was on the plate. I've owned my own restaurant so I know how the little things can mean a lot. Being charged for an extra bit of packet gravy just doesn't cut the mustard. Service: 4 View all feedback.

Very nice family-run hotel. It's just outside of Greymouth on the main road, but the room is very quiet. The rooms are cozy, the bathroom was very modern. Equipment everything you need. We even did our laundry here. Super nice and courteous service that helped us with how to use the washing machine as well as lots of tips on possible excursions. Rooms: 4
