Historic
West Coast Hotel, restored as superb backpacker accommodation
Neptunes
is a beautiful historic hotel in Greymouth, South Island, New
Zealand. It was built in 1905 and has been superbly restored in
a nautical theme. Visitors cannot help but be impressed. The views
from the balcony are breathtaking especially during the wonderful
West Coast sunsets.
Your

reliable and honest information on just about anything within
the South Island. Experienced travellers themselves, they aim
to provide a hostel with home comforts and a warm welcome.
