I lived in Greymouth for a year, I miss the place. Good dry days are almost celebrated over winter, totally great place if you love hunting, kayaking, rock climbing or general outdoor pursuits. You get used to the rain, and there are some fantastic roads in every direction. If your single, picking up female backpackers is great sport (as some of the local prey can be lethal if cornered) and theres no shortage of good bastards about.

I did have 2 neighbours die from drinking meths though, and its been 10 years since I lived there.

What sort of job are you thinking of taking?

Greymouths a bit bleak at times, I'm sure there are some nice days but be prepared for lots of rain.

Question for those that have lived there - how long till the locals started being friendly?

About 4 generations. More people are moving down that ways so its not as hard core as it used to be

I was born in Greymouth and grew up in Hokitika. Greymouth is a hole, but is only 20 minutes from Hokitika. If the job is in Greymouth, live in Hokitika and commute.

Hokitika is without doubt the better town to live in

Hey Man,
I believe that your first road bike your RG250 was bought down here...and it's not such a bad place to live!
There are some good bastards that live down here, the weather isn't as bad a some make it out, and the moo poo's isn't so bad these days.

[Tank]

According to Google Maps its only 1,090 km (about 16 hours 34) mins from someplace with entertainment.

[Smokin]

It's not too bad living here, but the population is growing at an alarming rate.
Hokitika is ok too but really offers nothing unless your a tourist.
The roads are fantastic, plenty of bush roads for the dirtbikes, hunting/ fishing and lakes for watersports. The rain stories are mostly bullshit but we do get a healthy dose of rain in spring normally.
Feel free to pm me if you need some more info.

Whats the rental accomodation like in Greymouth, using the 'net didn't look like there was too much to choose from?

[Smokin]

There is a bit around, normally advertised in the evening paper or the Real Estate agents have a few, average is around $200 pw.
