Latest Review for YHA Greymouth
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Situated in what feels like an old manor, this YHA is definitely showing its age, and facilities aren't quite up to snuff (particularly noticeable in the kitchen). Still, there's a wonderful living room/lounge, and staff is always helpful.

About YHA Greymouth
Internet Access
Nestled against bush-clad hills, YHA Greymouth is the perfect West Coast hostel for a laid back country/city experience. Twin, double and shared rooms, some with en-suite. We're proud of our professional team of local, knowledgeable & friendly staff. A chilled out atmosphere within a stone throw from the action will make this a stay to remember.
The hostel started life in the 1930's as the Marist Brothers Residence. This ex-Catholic building was recently featured in the NZ Historic Places Trust Magazine. Most of the character has been retained. In the Chapel, the pews have been swapped for beds and a popular soccer table put in. The study room is now a comfortable lounge offering river and sea views.
We offer a palette of West Coast experiences. Take part in some of the most challenging white water rafting, caving, fly-fishing, quad biking and backcountry tramping. Greymouth is the perfect base to visit the Pancake Rocks, the historic Shantytown or Monteith's Brewery. Fossick for jade (pounamu) on the beach and catch a glimpse of Mt Cook.

Greymouth itself isn't really a city worth spending a lot of time in (though I do recommend staying for at least one night so you can hike the gorgeous Point Elizabeth Walkway), but when you're staying in Greymouth, you could do worse than to pick this hostel.
