Global Village Travellers Lodge has free bikes, fitness centre, a garden and shared lounge in Greymouth. Located around 1.6 km from Greymouth Railway Station, the hostel is also 43 km away from Punakaiki Scenic Attraction. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi. I’ve been to a lot of hostels around the world and this is the best. We ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much. The free bikes and kayaks were the cherry on top. Such a clean, spacious place with incredibly sweet owners. The entire hostel is decorated in a way that you’re constantly finding new details to love. Thank you, Global Village!
