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.

Fencing in the area will go up on Monday. There will be no disruption to pedestrian entranceways to the park, but there will be a small detour around the work area near the facility site fence. The work will take about three weeks, after which the fences will stay up for about another four weeks to allow new grass to grow.

Iโ€™m needing to get a petrol mower, I was hoping for a good second hand one, but keep missing out, so now Iโ€™m looking at new, affordable ones. I need a fairly tough one, but not big.

I went to the mower shop by The Warehouse, yesterday, but despite all the old mowers in front of the shop, with price tags, the man said they donโ€™t sell them, and I canโ€™t find any other second hand mower dealers.
