    Best town with youth and good scenery

    This is the best town of NZ. Youthful and good scenery in all angles. Felt so relaxed and everyday is full of fun here. The people are friendly and helpful.

    Insider Tip:Need not rent vehicle here. Most of the activities will pick you up from their shops or from your accomodation. Easy to explore the town on foot as well.
