Location / Directions

If you are using Public transport to get to Greymouth, we recommend Atomic Shuttles, West Coast Shuttle, Tracknet, or Southern Link K Bus, who will drop you at the door of Global Village, and pick you up again when you are ready to leave. Not only that, they are also excellent value. Arriving by train or Intercity, you will have a 15-20 minute walk to Global Village, or a $5 taxi fare. Remember, the best travel experiences usually come with a little effort, and a bit of exercise never hurt anybody.................. So, if you need to make that little extra effort to get here, do it, you'll be glad you did! If your backpack is really heavy, give us a call and we may come down and collect you.

From the north, continue on SH6 bypassing main town centre, turn right into Franklin Street, just after fire station, then left onto Cowper Street. We are 200mtrs along on right with plenty of safe off -street parking.
