Your Central Accommodation
Modern and warm, the Copthorne Hotel Greymouth is just a short walk from popular attractions like Monteith's Brewery and the TranzAlpine railway station.
Towering high above the shops and cafés below, this comfortable hotel provides you with an impressive view over the Grey River and the Tasman Sea. Depending on which side your comfortable room resides, you are in for a treat - maybe even more so than the delicious desserts from Jimmy Cook's Restaurant on the first floor.
