0.5/5
It was SHUT on the Waitangi Day holiday when the town was full of visitors and travellers coming off or waiting to board the ferries.
Consequently we were not able to store our bags whilst we waited for the bus to Christchurch.
Luckily the very obliging lady at the train station looked after our luggage for a few hours at no charge. This saved us from having to drag our bags around town whilst looking for a coffee and sandwich. The few cafes that were open had queues down the street (I'm not exaggerating).
It would seem that some small business owners are choosing lifestyle over earnings. I thought that the pandemic would have made them want to make the most of every opportunity to make money.

They are very friendly and also have employees there who speak other languages than english (different from day to day).
They helped us book our day trip to the Queen Charlotte track and all went very well. Paying with credit card costs $3.50 extra.
