Local Information 

Just an hour's drive from Wellington, Greytown is a charming town renowned for its beautifully restored Victorian architecture and vibrant shopping scene.

Greytown showcases some of the finest examples of Victorian colonial architecture, with its main street being home to New Zealand's most complete row of wooden Victorian buildings. Visitors can enjoy a variety of cafés and restaurants offering seasonal dishes and local wines, alongside unique boutiques and quirky shops selling everything from handcrafted toys and handbags to jewellery, antiques, and art.

Founded in 1854, Greytown was New Zealand's first planned inland settlement. Established by Wellington settlers seeking affordable farmland, it was named in honour of Governor Sir George Grey, who supported the development of the town.
