Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

This night will be a bit different from past events and will be an outdoor takeaway picnic event in line with the covid restrictions in place. Plenty of space in Lloyd Morgan Park to spread out and enjoy some tasty food. Bring a blanket, sun umbrella to enjoy your night out.

We encourage people to scan in, where masks where possible and socially distance where practical. If feeling unwell, please stay at home.

Plenty of parking available. Walking or cycling up is even easier. We hope to see people come out again to support the food trucks and community.
