Hi micbro4,

Greymouth is a peaceful town with low cost of living. One of my cousin is now living in Greymouth and I have visited his place recently. The scenic train journey from Christchurch to this town is really awesome. Greymouth is the terminus for the TranzAlpine rail journey and scheduled transport is available daily. You can also travel by shuttle or coach from Nelson, Queenstown and other cities of New Zealand. It's is reached via highway 6 from both the north and the south by a car.

The major industries of Greymouth are mining, fishing, ecotourism & forestry. If you are planning on living & working in Greymouth then it's a wonderful place. Bikes can be rented in the town and you can get around Greymouth easily by bike. Eventhough the west coast region is isolated part of New Zealand, it has all facilities and shopping centres for comfortable living. So, have a wonderful time at Greymouth!
