NZ's friendliest regions and towns

Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

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.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

What a great result as another drop puts it into the 2600 zone, the best since Feb 2022
It could be a wee bit concerning that Cant seems slower to drop 16.6% as we were only 15% a couple of months ago.
Stay save folks.
