Great Coast Road

Once a simple state highway, that all changed after receiving international recognition as a favourite of Lonely Planet’s, with this road making it into their top 10 Coastal Drives in the world. Linking the West Coast towns of Greymouth and Westport, it’;s earned its moniker as The Great Coast Road.

At full speed, the road only takes 90 minutes. If you were to slow down and experience the many national parks, the New Zealand Great Walks at Paparoa and the Heaphy, the amazing rock formations at Punakaiki and the dramatic coastal scenery and the wildlife viewing opportunities along the way, well, you may never leave!

If you’re looking to stay on the Great Coast Road, the Gentle Annie Holiday Park is one our users frequently recommend.
