Introducing Greymouth

Welcome to the ‘Big Smoke’ of Westland. Crouched at the mouth of the Grey River (early European settlers had a lot of stuff to name, OK?), the West Coast’s largest town has a proud gold-mining history, and a legacy of occasional river floods, now somewhat alleviated by a flood wall.

On the main road and rail route through Arthur’s Pass and across the Southern Alps from Christchurch, Greymouth sees its fair share of travellers taking advantage of outstanding budget accommodation. Once you’ve enjoyed the Monteith’s Brewery tour, outdoor adventures including rafting, canyoning and quad-biking can fill another couple of days.
