On yer bike! Adventures

Off-roading in the Heart of New Zealand’s unique and mystical rainforest, surrounded by native trees, ferns and bush. The landowners have spent more than 20 years creating an offroad paradise of tracks always mindful of retaining the natural character and beauty of the area. You will be enchanted by the gorgeous ferns and mosses that line these tracks along with stunning views over the river valley. The best part of your journey through this wonderland is the mud and water which naturally pool on the tracks. After a good downpour of rain, rivers of water flow down parts of the trail and the mud is replenished for play. No need to worry about keeping clean as boots and protective clothing are supplied to keep you dry. We offer 1hr, 2hr or 90mins adventure tours, 7 days a week. Our vehicle fleet consists of quad bikes, 1, 2 and 4-seater buggies, kid’s quads and the mighty Hagglund. Our knowledgeable guides with their off-road skills mean that you can be sure of an adventure you'll love!

Restaurant food is wonderful. This chef certainly knows food and how to prepare it, their speciality is creating fantastic flavours that enhance the main ingredients. What fantastic food, Garlic and Chilli Prawns wow, and the vegetarian pizza best I've ever tasted including that prepared in the best places in Naples, Italy. Keep up the fantastic work. Make sure you visit and enjoy the food, brewery tour is a bonus.

Well preserved remnants of important New Zealand history. Not far out of Greymouth and well worth a visit. Put aside an hour to wander around this well-signed heritage area. Easy walk, lots of information about a once thriving mining settlement. Plenty to see. Sad that a monument to NZ’s worst mining disaster in 1896 has to reference other losses of miners lives, as recent as Pike River in 2010.

TranzAlpine

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

We took the TranzAlpine from Christchurch to Greymouth. The trip across the Canterbury Plains by train was pleasant -- such a fertile farming area. Then we climbed up into the steep mountains, we simply don't have anything like this in Australia. Crossing New Zealand's South Island from east to west is quite an adventure. We arranged to pick up a car in Greymouth. By the way, the South Island is mountainous, get a strong car.

Shantytown Heritage Park

Shantytown is a leading New Zealand culture and heritage attraction. Made up of over 30 historic buildings it is a faithfully recreated 19th century pioneer town, inspired by the West Coast gold rushes of the 1860s. Highlights include riding the heritage train, gold panning, the Beehive store with its range of traditional confectionery and the opportunity to have an old time photo portrait taken as a memento of your visit.

Excellent little tourist attraction. This place is really well set up, maintained and gives a real insight into the years of the gold rush and logging and how these people lived. We would have stayed another few hours if we had the time as it is so interesting. A must see tourist spot if you are in this area.
