Greymouth Holidays

Greymouth at a Glance

Greymouth is a town on the western terminus of the TranzApline line, located on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Sitting on the bank of the Grey River about half a mile inland, it is not one of the country’s most attractive towns but it is surrounded by a selection of scenic walkways, beautiful parks and rivers. It’s a great holiday destination for thrill seekers who want to explore some of New Zealand but also try their hand at activities like white-water rafting and kayaking.
