About Greymouth
Greymouth is the largest town on New Zealand's wild West Coast, at the mouth of the Grey River, with a history of coal, gold and greenstone.
Greymouth sits where the Grey River meets the Tasman Sea on the west coast of the South Island, squeezed between the ocean and the foothills, with the Paparoa Range rising to the north. Coal and gold built the town, and its riverfront still has a working fishing fleet and port. The railway from Christchurch, which crosses the Southern Alps via Arthur's Pass, ends at the station here.
