Wegbeschreibung

If you are using Public transport to get to Greymouth, we recommend Atomic Shuttles, Southern Link, or West Coast Shuttle 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. 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! The alternative is a $6 taxi fare, or if your bags really are too heavy, give us a call and we may come and collect you.

If driving, Global Village is situated 1km south of Greymouth town centre. From the south on SH6, turn left off SH6 at the Mobil service station/New World supermarket, and then right, this is Cowper St. We are 400mtrs along on left. 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. And we have plenty of safe off -street parking.
