SHANTYTOWN

Ten kilometers south of Greymouth, Shantytown is a remarkable reproduction of a village during the gold rush era in the region. You can walk through the streets as they were then, with their post office, their shops, their pub, the jail and the houses of the inhabitants. There is even a small steam train and a museum section to better understand the importance of this activity in the development of the West Coast. You can try to search for the precious metal and take your find home. It is an attraction appreciated by families.
