About Greymouth
Greymouth offers a palette of West Coast experiences. The wild West
Coast of the South Island is one of the most attractive regions in New
Zealand offering breathtaking views, untouched nature and awesome
adventure.
From Greymouth take part in some of the most
challenging white water rafting on the West Coast’s many rivers, go
caving, fly-fishing, quad biking or backcountry tramping through the
lush native bush.
The West Coast was the centre of the New
Zealand Gold Rush in the nineteenth century and you can still
‘discover’ gold in nearby Shantytown. Greymouth is also the heart of
New Zealand’s greenstone trade. Also known as jade, pounamu
(greenstone) is the sacred stone of the Maori people and Greymouth a
great selection of handcrafted greenstone pieces for sale or just to
admire in the local galleries. Try carving your own pendant or fossick
for pieces of pounamu along the West Coast beaches. At the end of a
long day of West Coast magic, unwind at the Monteith’s Brewery in
Greymouth, sizzle a sausage on the hostel's BBQ or relax in front of
your favourite DVD.
