Go to The Hutt, tell people Davo sent you. Bring beer. If anyone gives you any hassle the secret password is “she’s buying a stairway to heaven.”

Well Wanganui is a hole to be honest so I’d steer clear of there and their muddy river.
Aside from that place most of the towns are lovely and handy, within two to three hours of one of the major centres. The advantage of the tournament for NZ is that being a small country it is only a few hours by car or a very short plane trip generally an hour or less from the major centres to most parts of NZ.
My picks of the smaller centres would be Bay of Islands, Nelson and New Plymouth
