NZ's friendliest regions and towns

Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

Hi there,
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.

Naturopathy and Bowen work so well to support your wellbeing

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

I saw Cushla last week and barely recognised her; she looked well-rested, calm and confident.
Cushla and I worked together over the course of a few months to support her own health as well as that of her baby son.
At the time she was at her wits end, sleep deprived and at a loss as to how to curb this downward spiral. The personalised remedy blend for him, and Baby Bowen enabled a positive change in him, which allowed Cushla to come up for air, and recharge her own battery with a personalised approach as well.
What a fabulous outcome for both!
