Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a good plasterer/company please. I need my new openplan kitchen/dining/living room ceiling plastered. I would rather get someone who has been recommended than take a stab in the dark. Thanks.

After living in emergency accommodation for nearly a year, Amanda Jackson-Brown will move into a new home next week – and she cannot wait.
The 51-year-old Christchurch woman will be one of the first tenants to move into Brougham Village, a new 90-home community housing project developed by Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT).
Jackson-Brown, a former beauty therapist who has suffered from mental health and addiction issues, said moving into the one-bedroom unit would allow her to get her life back on track.
The Brougham St development is the largest ever commissioned by OCHT and replaces 89 social housing units demolished following the 2011 earthquakes.
We are still on the look out for 14 people to join our fab team of volunteers . If you love meeting new people, are community minded and have the time to help than get in contact . For more information email manager.cabchch@gmail.com .
Wow. This is what greeted me in my wee vege patch after a fortnight away on leave. My veges are thriving - all but one broccoli plant in amongst them all tho, so I thought to give them a bloody good soak before I tackled the "invaders" today. I wonder what they are?

Only thing I can think of is the mulch I threw over the patch last winter made up of oak leaves from the park across the road.......? Dig them back in or put to compost? What say you Discerners?
