 Grey District - Gateway to the West Coast of New Zealand
The Grey River was named by Thomas Brunner on a visit to Mawhera in January 1848 to honour the then Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey.
Among the scenic treasures to be found on the West Coast are New Zealand’s highest mountains, lowest glaciers, finest lowland rainforests (with the tallest trees), wildest beaches, longest caves and most natural rivers.
New Zealanders simply refer to this narrow strip of land as the ‘Coast': a rugged and primeval region that plunges westward from the Southern Alps – a chain of cloud-piercing mountains – through luxurious rain forest to a breathtaking coast.
