Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

We sell it because we move back to Belgium.
Available from 1 March.
Great battery / very comfortable to ride.
It seats 2 children, but we've created an extra bench for 1 child. This bench can be easily removed.

It still has got warranty on electronics and mechanicals from manufacturing defect and not wear and tear like consumables (e.g. chain, brake pads).
Battery warranty has expired already (1y).
