Greymouth. Where to stay (or not) and what to do?

We stayed at the Top 10 holiday park right on the beach which was fantastic. Met a heap of Aussie bikers who were staying there.

Ahh yes Buelbabe a woman of good taste.. Agree with it all with fond memories of good rides and company. A day squirt down the coast to Franz Joseph for lunch is allways fun. And there is a Cafe on Lake Brunner (moana) by the Railway station that serves up a good breakfast..
Mrs T & I used to go over there a bit (lived in Woodend for a while) and we used to head out on a Friday Nite (1100 loaded with all creature comforts) through the Lewis Pass with an overniter in Maruia Springs, on to Greymouth with a good old rowdy Sat Nite in Revingtons and a liesurely ride back home through Arthurs pass on the Sunday after a good brekky in Moana..

We did a wine trail at Queenstown about 5 years ago. Thought we'd come back from it and be able to order 'the right' wine at the restaurant, taste it before accepting and seem very sophisticated. After trying about a dozen wines through the day though we were sick of it and just couldn't face any more so we had a common old beer with our evening meal. Nice too.

The Monteiths Tour sounds good. Might save that for a 'no riding' day.

We did the same at Napier one time. It was after a big night on Tequila and every thing tasted the same; reds, whites, blues, greens, they all tasted like crap.
