More about this image
Historic Greytown was New Zealand’s first planned inland town. It was established by settlers from Wellington, who were looking for small, affordable portions of land to farm. They were assisted in their quest by Governor Sir George Grey, and named the town in his honour. The region around Greytown is known for its rich river silt soils, which produce some of the tastiest fruit and vegetables you’ll ever find. Excellent examples of Victorian colonial architecture line the main street and there is a wide choice of cafés and restaurants. For entertainment, apart from shopping, follow the historic walk and visit the local museum.
Functional facts: Approx. population 2000, train station, good range of shops.
