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 Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.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?

Question for WDC, a bit of an old one but never resolved, we don't want disabled people to struggle more than others.

3 years ago WDC removed parking concessions for the disabled, we used to have the same concessions as over 70s
I would like to see this reviewed with some urgency.
My personal feeling on how WDC passed the law removing parking concessions from the disabled just showed a total we do not care, because we do not understand ableism in the extreme.
Disability awareness training if they do any they have used the same consultants for 15 years, clearly, after 15 years they can assume the training is not working.
If things are not working do it differently.
There is almost no real understanding within the council that a disabled person is a person.
Think if one of these sitting councilors running council has a stroke and that could happen tomorrow.
Will that mean nobody will talk to them anymore will they be shunned.
Will they be fined for parking too long? How can they be penalized for their crime of having a stroke?
Let's look at a young kid who falls off his bike hits his head, has to learn to walk again, by removing their parking concessions WDC you have made life harder for these people.
Perch this frame over a garden bed, and drape it with shade cloth, frost cloth or mesh, depending on the season. Paint to suit with Resene.

The stream bed repairs at the gardens are coming along great!
Many large rocks have been added to strengthen the banks so in the event of another flood there should not be any slips or collapses.

Thank you to everyone who has visited us recently for your patience and understanding while we work through these repairs.
PS: And the food offered in Quail Cafe - is DELICIOUS!!
My recommendation - is to eat and then take a walk up to the lake.
