We heard a lot of rumours about Palmerston North being the most boring town in New Zealand. Let's take you on another adventure and explore this town to see if we can prove it wrong. First we are heading to the city centre and square to meet our friend, then to grab some pastries and a pie at Knead Bakery and a coffee at the Bees Knees cafe in the Hokowhitu area. Afterwards we are going to the Esplanade down by the Manawatu River to hop on the Scenic Railway and to check out the Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery. We are also getting an ice cream at the "scoop" truck next to the He Ara Kotahi bridge. We had such an amazing day and highly recommend visiting and stopping in Palmerston North if you are on the way!

Not only Palm, but the entire country is 🤣

@trav8787

Palmy isn't a tourist town, it's a place to raise a family. The population is high enough that palmy has all the main businesses and facilities, but the population is low enough that it isn't busy. You can get from one side of town to the other in 10-20mins. It's flat land, as a kid you could bike and hang out with your mates anywhere. Although it's inland it's only 30mins to the beach. It's 2-4hrs travel to Wellington, Ruapehu, Taupo, Napier. You have the ranges behind the city if your into hiking or mountain biking. House prices are far less than other major centres. Palmy has UCOl, a university, and an international college. The schools in palmy tend to do well. You could walk home after a night out or pay less than $20 to uber home. Although you get some wind and rain the weather is pretty consistent. The army camp and airforce camp are within 30mins. There's still all the basic attractions, 3 movie theaters, 2 fast go kart tracks, stock cars, turbos rugby games, bowling, river walk etc.

PALMY WAS A HOT SPOT BEFORE GOVT TAXED ALL CLUBS AND BARS. IT WAS THE STUDENT CAPITAL AND WENT OFF ON FRIDAYS AND SAT

I have lived in Palmy since 1989 and really love it. It is only 15 minutes to anywhere, not too congested and a fairly safe place to bring up kids. Yes, it is windy at times, but you get used to it. Sometimes, living in a “boring” town is more stress free and makes a nice easy life. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Arrived in palmy in 2003 and 21 years later, still here ❤

@steveothebelieveo2457

Palmy isn’t bad, to be fair the whole country has been homogenised

@zachjudge5885 14 часов назад

I've lived in many places, Central coast Australia, chistchurch, auckland, napier and some others but after living in Palmy for the last 10 years, it suits my lifestyle the best. Now i have a family here.

Argh yes, Mr J Cleese was somewhat scathing of Palmy when he called here some years ago. So the local Council have named the compost heap at the dump after him, visit Mount Cleese there....lol Nice video by the way

We came here from Auckland for a short stay in 1979, and we never left. We thought Auckland was the best, but we're wrong, especially now. It is a great place to raise a family, and for older folk, not to busy, or crowded.

@magicweaver2886

So glad you enjoyed Palmy! Honestly, my favourite things about Palmy have to be how relaxed it is, the food there is AMAZING (I live in a larger city in nz and I struggle to find better/as interesting options), the library is really good (one of the biggest in nz), and there's sooo many factory shops, reduced to clear, and wholesaler places too. My recommended places to check out are: Albert Street Bakery (My absolute favourite pies), Summerhays Corner Superette (aka. the blue dairy, the ice-cream scoops are massive and they have more tiptop flavours than at other places), and Munchkins (for all your chocolate and fudge needs. Also worth noting the dark chocolate doesn't have milk, so there are many options for those with allergies). There are several other places that I've been to but can't remember the name but I remember there being a really good Vietnamese, and there's a really good Chinese Yum Cha place too. Anyway, just LOTS of great food.

@shaungordon9737

I've watched several of your videos in NZ. And what I've enjoyed more than the actual NZ content is getting to know you two and your personalities. You two are such a wonderful couple, and are just genuinely beautiful people. It's no wonder everyone is nice to you wherever you go.

Hello G & M. Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦.

Thanks for the presentation. I'm actually visiting my daughter in Palmerston North from the US. She's attending high school there. It was good to see your perspective of the city before my arrival.

I love Palmy!

@cassiasimeon790 19 часов назад

loved that you guys enjoyed Palmy! I know you's thought that the hussle and bustle in the plaza and CBD was because of the easter holidays BUT thats just a normal day in good old Palmy!

@BEVERLEYBROOK-ix9mb

What a great commentary you guys give in all your video's of NZ. AS Kiwis we love all positive comments from visitors.

@SpaceCadete101

Hey homies! You discovered PN! You got stood over by the "homeless" guy! The Easter Bunny guy has a heart of gold. Who said Palmy was boring! Greatest little town in New Zealand - after Hamilton, or so they say. I'm glad you enjoyed my home town. I loved it too.
