5 NZ 'attractions' that don't live up to the hype

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

Hey neighbours,

Planning a trip around Aotearoa in the near future? Well, you can cross these five spots off your must-visit list.

From Taupō's self-described "iconic" Huka Prawn Park and the overcrowded sand baths at Coromandel's Hot Water Beach, to the decidedly average Moeraki Boulders in Waitaki - there are some places that just aren't worth your time or money.

Have you visited any of the 'attractions' on our list? Do you agree that they are overrated? If not, what makes them so great?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Beautiful day, met lots of tourists off the cruise ships, wonderful meal, easy parking if your an early bird....JUST go and prove for yourself, especially if you love gardens, cricket n roses.
SMILE life is too short.
