"Great - Friendly people; good layout with numerous social spaces; clean, fresh double room. unfortunately not central as stated but about twenty minutes' walk to the town, but we did get a free lift from the owner for the train the next day. all i can say is it's a shame it's in Greymouth, which has nothing to do at all!" … "This place was fantastic, really close to the supermarket and town, but if you're feeling lazy you can take advantage of the free bikes and cycle!

Duke Hostel

"Loved it - We stayed at Duke Backpackers for three nights and it was one of the best. The managers and hosts were very friendly and helped us a lot with travel planning and tips about the area. The entire place was very, very clean. Very comfortable beds. A hot soup in the evening and free breakfast. Lovely colours and lots of free stuff -- DVDs, pool table, coffee and tea, hot water bottles, and one beer. The location is also great, very centre of town. We do recommend everyone who stop in Greymouth to stay at Duke Backpackers." …... more »

HI - YHA Greymouth Hostel

"I heart you, Greymouth." … "This hostel is in a huge old building full of wooden paneling and creaky floorboards, giving it tons of atmosphere. It's a shame that Greymouth is such a weird place, though." … "HI - YHA Greymouth Hostel is located in the heart of Greymouth. The building is very old and squeaky; some dorm rooms are a bit smelly.

Neptunes

"Spacious and clean Kitchen and Lounge areas, friendly staff. - Driving around in the rain a few days ago, my boyfriend and I, were only delighted in land ourselves on the comfy couches in the Lounge of Neptunes, cook a nice meal in the huge kitchen, and have a lovely hot shower -- all for only $10 each (we slept in our van). This is an excellent hostel for anyone looking to park their van for the night." … "When you see Neptunes Backpackers, Greymouth, it hardly looks the most inviting hostel one could see on there trip around New... more »

"yes, it's a bit of an old place, and perhaps needs redecoration. However it has character, and it makes a change from staying in pristine hostels which can be a bit austere. The kitchen facilities are a bit poor, but adequate for a small number of travelers. There's nothing seriously bad about this place and it's an ok place to spend a night or two. I enjoyed it -- they were friendly and helpful to me. As of three weeks ago, it's under new management and they may alter things. They offered me free rides in and out of town, which is... more »

Greymouth Travel Tips & Suggestions

I love the place! It has a real New Zealand feel to it. With the river right in the middle of town and the harbour not far, there's plenty of free sightseeing to be had. All the basics are there like cinema, supermarkets, choice of restaurants, and bars. The Monteith's Brewery tour is well worth it, there's plenty of beach, river, and hilly walks and of course the usual activities such as caving, quadbiking, and guided tours. There's also an excellent selection of accommodation for such a small place, but then it is the West Coast with plenty of scenery and nothing else between townships and Greymouth is the largest town! — Claire

This is the most boring town ever, and I have to live here! But we do have a little slice of paradise -- the Warehouse. — Jaide

Most boring town ever. — Sarah
