Matt, who quite literally grew up in the Park, returned to the family business in 1997 after a decade of experiencing life outside the Coast. Alongside his wife Steph, the couple stepped into managing the Park, bringing fresh energy while honouring the values that had been there from the beginning. Full ownership followed not long after, and with it came the next chapter of family life.
Over the years, Matt and Steph raised their five children among the cabins and campers, where every season brought new faces, and familiar ones, back through the gates. Their eldest son Alex, headed off to boarding school in Christchurch and later spent nearly a decade there studying and working. At the end of 2024, Alex and his partner Sam returned to Greymouth TOP 10, ready to continue the family tradition.
A key member of the Greymouth TOP 10 family is their long service superstar, Lyn. She began working for Doug and Rhonda as a cleaner in 1991 and then moved into the office in 1998 with Matt and Steph, and has been there ever since. During her 34 years, she has seen all her kids working in the Park. Deane worked after school helping the grounds men, Genna worked in the laundry as well as helping look after Matt and Stephs five young children, and Lauren is currently in her second stint of working in the office.
With over three decades of experience, Lyn knows the ins and outs of the business like no one else and knows all of the Park’s regular guests. Her close bond with the Levien family, especially the children she’s watched grow up, makes her a treasured part of the team and the heart of the Greymouth Seaside TOP 10 community.
Together, the Levien family and their dedicated team have created a Park where family values run high and connections are continuously made. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning guest, there’s always a warm welcome waiting at the entrance of Greymouth Seaside TOP 10 Holiday Park.
