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.

Hi I am renovating my bathroom soon and have a bath, vanity and electric towel rail to give away if anyone needs to do up a batch or just likes retro bathroom fittings original from the early nineties..
Towel rail and bath are both a peachy colour. Bath is 1665 long, 740 wide and approx. 450 deep. Has leather-look headrest and very comfortable arm rests. There is also a 900mm vanity white colour with two doors and three draws down one side, it has an Aakronite vanity top, very good quality in the day. Towel rail has already been disconnected, bath & vanity will be out soon.

Happy Friday neighbours,

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.
