Going The Extra Mile A big shout out to Helen for her wonderful assistance in helping us source a wheelchair for one of our family members who would not have been able to participate and enjoy Greymouth on our recent visit without it. Her friendly and helpful manner was very much appreciated. Catherine

A Weeks Holiday on the West Coast Booked for Us Staff at Greymouth I Site booked our week-long trip down the West Coast to Queenstown for us. We were provided with comfortable well-equipped places to stay and an amazing tour in Okarito wetlands. Staff went out of their way to make sure bookings met our needs. Including when we added another person midway through the booking! Very impressed and would do this again instead of trying to do it all ourselves. The added advantage was that everything was paid for ahead of time so we did not have to worry about payment along the way.

Great Tour We spent a wonderful day with Bob who showed us some great spots on the west coast, including the Tree Top walk, Hokitika Gorge, Punakaiki rocks, Truman Track and beach. He kept us informed and entertained with a commentary based on his life time on the coast. Thanks for a great day Bob.

Great working with I-site! Kelly is wonderful! After purchasing a Grab One deal I worked with Kelly to.book our trip to Lake Brunner . All was well until the train got cancelled due to Covid and the fun began! Kelly was very accommodating and ensured that we had shuttles to get us to and from the lake, along with sorting out the tours for us, one of which we had to cancel due to returning earlier that expected. She arranged a credit at the hotel for us to spend on dinner which was great. We can't thank you enough for making our 37th wedding anniversary special.

The location is easy to find, right at the end of the street. You need to get your ticket in advance. You can buy some souvenirs at the service center. The train windows are very large, allowing you to easily enjoy the scenery outside. You can see mountains, lakes, canyons, forests, and snow-capped mountains all at once. It's a very wonderful and thought-provoking trip.

We cannot thank the lady who helped us out with a taxi to our accommodation. The driver was taking a while to pick us up and she had finished work but waited with us until he arrived. She even said if the taxi didn’t turn up she would drive us herself! Above and beyond service. Thank you

Highly recommend this place. I would especially thank Helen for saving our west coast trip. We’ve ran into some issues with a rental company and don’t have a car to franz Josef. We were stressed at that time, as we don’t have any other way to get to franz Josef. It’s already late and the visitor center is closing, but Helen kindly offered us a taxi service to franz Josef. She was really professional and kind. Highly recommend this place if you want to book a trip.

Shout out to Helen for the amazing itinerary organised for our group. Had the best two nights travelling on the TranzAlpine train, being picked up by Helen both days and exploring the area with a local. Great stay at Hotel Lake Brunner for two nights. Lunch at Monteiths, explored the Brunner mine, were spellbound at the Punikaiki Rocks, stunning afternoon tea by the Wild West coast beach, hot tubs by Lake Brunner. And then there was the star of the show - our guide Helen. Nothing was too much for Helen. She was relaxed and fun, and knew her stuff. Thank you for making a bucket list experience for one of our crew so special.
