Greymouth Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We travelling from Christchurch to Greymouth on the Tranzalpine Train. Early start - the hotel arranged a shuttle bus to pick us up at 7.00 a.m. to take us to Christchurch Railway station. There was a great buzz there, with lots of people and even more luggage!!!! The train departed at 8.15 a.m. on the dot. The train was great - very comfortable...

Antes de llegar a los glaciares hicimos parada, en principio por una noche, en uno de los guesthouse mas bonitos de todo el viaje... Era espectacular y nos quedamos un par de noches para disfrutar de la paz del lugar. Nos costaba como 25 euros pero tenia sauna, piscina termal,un monton de libros, chimenea y la cocina, llamarme maruja era super e...

So next on the agenda was to make it across to the West coast along the famous Arthur's Pass. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, the road winds and winds across to the West Coast. Unfortunately, we had very poor weather and the scenery was somewhat bleak but we could imagine it being amazing on a good day...well I could, Ger missed most of it wh...

Greymouth is probably best avoided for anyone heading out this way.We had to stay overnight so we had no choice. The best part about it was heading through the mountains on a train followed by a bus. They call the mountains the southern alps. Fairly sweet. When we got to Greymouth there wasn't much to do there other than head to the local brewar...

Today we spent all day driving through the rain to get to a very grey Greymouth, so called because of the river Grey which flows into the sea at this point on the West coast. The river Grey is so called because it's grey. It's all very simple really. Tomorrow we're going to spend all day driving from Greymouth back to the north east coast (i.e. ...

We woke up bright and early and participated in the free breakfast once more before boarding the Magic Bus in order to travel from Nelson to Greymouth. It was a very overcast day, which made us even more thankful for the wonderful weather on our kayaking trip the day before. On the way to Greymouth the Magic Bus driver was trying to tell us stor...

Hi All Well the helicopter flight was just awesome - there's just no other word to describe it! An amazing 45 minutes flying over 3 glaciers and around Mount Cook and Mount Tasman and landing on the Franz Joseph Glacier. I can't describe the trip really because I still trying to digest it! The sky is as clear as can be, compared to yesterday you...

So Day One of my cycling adventure (after being fitted out by Craig yesterday, including a lift to the train station so I could buy my train ticket) started with the Tranzscenic train across the southern alps, through Authur's Pass. We had wonderful sunny weather and the views were great and the travelling companions good company. Four and a hal...

I have been late updating my log since I arrived in New Zealand. I have really had no spare time since leaving Christchurch. I vastly underestimated the awesomeness of New Zealand and the number of places to see. A month is not really enough and I arrived late. As a result this has turned into a blitz-tour of New Zealand. Today I leave Christchu...
