Warm modern units - would stay again

Lovely modern stand alone units equipped with everything you need. We stayed in a wheelchair accessible unit – perfect for anyone with accessibility issues. Beds are very comfortable! We would recommend and hope to stay again! Angeline is a lovely responsive host – thanks so much!

Very enjoyable visit

After a 2 week road trip around the South Island Black on Grey was a highlight. Just to be able to relax in a comfortable chair after a long day on the road is a real bonus. Easy living made perfect. Thank you Angeline the design and planing you have put into your accomodation shows through. Good luck for the future and I could well recommend black and grey, for a friendly comfortable clean stay.

Lovely, Comfortable Stay

3 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay at Black on Grey Motel in Geraldine. The accommodations were beautiful — a spotless, standalone unit with plenty of natural light. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was hot and strong, and the cozy Lazy Boy chairs were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

It was clean, comfortable, and quiet — everything you could hope for in a stay. The owner, Angeline, was especially delightful and friendly, offering great local tips on restaurants and things to do in the area.

Highly recommend this lovely motel — a perfect place to unwind in Geraldine!
