Located only 10kms south of Greymouth, Shantytown is where New Zealand retells the inspirational stories of the hardy, treasure seeking immigrants who battled through the harsh conditions of the most challenging of the 19th century's great gold rushes to become West Coasters. A new breed of New Zealander who brought an invigorated pulse to the heart of the nation; a pulse that beats loudly in the character of today's New Zealander.
 
Shantytown is open EVERY day from 8.30am to 5.00pm (except Christmas Day).
