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.

My tiny part-time Nelson record store Family Jewels Records was hit pretty hard by COVID lockdown. We really need more second hand LPs to keep going. If anyone has a record collection to sell, or has a mate who does, please contact me on 022 362 0304. Many thanks ...Grant S

The first of the covered bike stands, which can accommodate for 60 bicycles each, was set up in Montgomery Square in December. The second, located outside Civic House on Trafalgar St, is expected to be ready by mid-March.
What are your thoughts on the bike stand project? Are they an encouragement… View moreThe first of the covered bike stands, which can accommodate for 60 bicycles each, was set up in Montgomery Square in December.

What are your thoughts on the bike stand project? Are they an encouragement to get on your bike more or are they taking up valuable car parking space?
