Is This THE MOST BORING TOWN In New Zealand? First Impression Palmerston North 🇳🇿

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!

I love Palmy! When we first came to NZ in 2018, Palmy was our first home. We lived in the mint green art deco house right across the street from the Esplanade entrance. In spring, my view from the lounge was the cherry trees lining the Esplanade's entrance. ❤ We've moved on, but Palmy will always have a special place in my heart.

[@spudpalmy]

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.

[@maxhpfast]

Yeah, i lived in Napier 34 years, to many people want to live there to get a kai or be by the ocean etc

[@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.

[@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.

[@cassiasimeon790]

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!

[@homebuddha]

grew up in that area of the country, left NZ @ age 20 with the whole family, best decision our parents made got us, am now 50 living in Australia. Seeing this made me smile brings back many great memories. Nostalgic.

[@RaspberryStudios]

I lived in Palmy since I was young with my family. I really loved going to the esplanade, the Lido, the bike trails around the manuwatu river, the library had a popular youth space to socialise and read, the creeks and rivers nearby and the events brought into the square in the middle of town (music events, xmas in the square, cultural events etc). It was a really good place to grow up As I got older I enjoyed the nightlife and clubbing before moving away. I have since returned and it's much the same. The nightlife is dead now though, and larger cities have more to offer But Palmerston North is still a really nice place to be and I still love being there

[@johnstuart8511]

Hello G & M. Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. As always. I am excited to see you again. Keep rolling the video..

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks my good friend John ❤️

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

[@crazyshoota]

you poor thing🤣

[@moronicdooshbaggery756]

It's a prison

[@theartsyzoologist]

I’m from Tauranga originally, but have lived all over the North Island. I came to Palmy in 2021 with just the intention of staying for a week to catch up with dad. I will admit it definitely was a lot smaller than what I thought it would be…and the drivers are hands down the worst I’ve ever experienced in any city I’ve lived in thus far. The number of pot holes are a few bumps away from feeling like you are off-roading through the bush, and parking is ridiculous. However I found the locals to be pretty relaxed and I enjoyed a lot of what was on offer arts, culture and nature wise. Within 2 weeks I’d made the decision to move here 😂. Within 7 months I’d landed one of my dream jobs teaching art to my students in a studio/gallery setting, and doing art projects with city council. I had also promised myself I wouldn’t study ever again, but with Massey right there I was able to pursue my degree in Zoology Science (which I’d wanted to do since I was a grommet!). I had been told “Oh don’t go to Palmy it’s a dead end there and loaded with gang violence, go to Welly”. Which was ironic, because I’d spent a lot of my adult life looking and living in a lot of our bigger super cities with the promise of “Opportunities everywhere” ….yet I was able to attain most of my goals within a 2 year period, from “Dead Ass” Palmy. It’s definitely not the perfect town…by any means, but from a personal perspective and point of view it can work if you are art, nature and creative minded. I’m sure there are plenty more fields outside of the arts etc that can work too. I will also admit opportunities are slim for the picking but they are there if you get off your ass and look instead of moping around like an unmotivated and entitled mullet waiting for everything to be handed to you. The community are pretty helpful and there is good energy most places you go. It just needs an update.

[@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.

[@GlenAndMado]

we do our best! thanks for tuning in my friend!

[@Minimum4488]

Agree

[@raewynbassett2305]

Love to watch your videos on N Z. Palmerston north. im very bias lived here all my life.go 10 mins to the north to a place called Feilding especially on a friday which is market day, a gorgeous rural town.keep up your video's. Xx

[@GlenAndMado]

You can find beauty anywhere though! If you have an open mind you can make anything exciting or beautiful ♥️ yup we have been to fielding for the market is was a great day out.

[@Billythekiddnz]

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

No it didnt and no it was never

[@updownandaround]

Yeah, everything was more fun pre covid too

[@CastoBoyMania]

Is that why some of the clubs closed down?

[@PamelaAttwood]

Visited the city a few times as my friend lives there. The Bees knees cafe you were sitting outside of is just down Albert street from her home. Have walked down that street to walk down by the river. The Manawatu River walk is very popular for all ages. The Mall is a great asset especially when the weather is wet and windy or in the Winter. When I went down there many years ago I didn't realize there was a Mall and wondered where everyone was on a cold day then I discovered the Mall! The Victoria Esplanade is one of my favourite places to visit.

[@shazza160]

The Manawatu River is now where all Punjabs throw funeral ashes. With that and dairy effluent it’s a filthy river.

[@johnbassounas7454]

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.

[@nothing-jg7fw]

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

[@henryjackson9793]

Excellent episode all 3 of you creating your own fun, great personalities and loves the accents. That pie looks good though, haha I went down the road and had one after seeing your vedio. Thankyou and looking forward to see more

[@GlenAndMado]

That pie was delicious! We had a brilliant day in palmy ❤️

[@evelynpaterson2823]

Arrived in 1982, still here and happy. Thank you for your video

[@karinkereama]

Imagine coming from Palmerston North and seeing this video. How awesome! Not sure if you’re still in NZ but Hokianga is beautiful . Tane Mahuta tree is incredible but the roads are a bit tricky.

[@zachjudge5885]

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.

[@GreenestBeanest-g2u]

Hey, me and my friend were the Easter bunnies, I was the one who gave you guys the eggs lol, glad you enjoyed palmy! ☺️

haha thats brilliant glad you found the video! were so grateful that this video some publicity in the area :)

[@steveothebelieveo2457]

Safe travels to you both I've seen what I've wanted yous to see of nz ( except the most amazing part of new Zealand.. coast road nz punakaiki.) Enjoyed watching most of your videos take care.

[@camhyde9701]

there used to be the best japanese restaurant in NZ on the west corner of the square... not sure if its still there... Hanamizuki

[@joharrison3469]

I went last year and it was really good. Best sushi I've had for quite some time. It's was shut last week when I tried to go. Owners, were on holiday for a month. They are back mid June. Highly recommend.

[@MarkMcLT]

I'm so glad you had a good time in Palmerston. I'm very fond of the place. I was born there, family moved away when I was 3, but I moved back for work for a year straight after university before going back to grad school (I saw the building I worked in in the distance in one your shots). Met lots of great people. It wasn't quite as vibrant back then (mid-80's) but still a very culturally active place with music and art etc. I would quite happily live there again. Mind you, you did strike it fairly lucky with the weather. It gets pretty cold in winter, especially with that wind off the Tasman Sea blowing across the plain from the coast.

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks for giving us an insight of the good times in palmy! We’re glad this gave you a little glance of the area and brought back some special memorise ♥️ we certainly were lucky with the weather though haha and it’s a really nice place!

[@KathleenCorson-t1v]

We live in Palmerston North. I'm from Pahiatua. And I highly recommend you do a video around Pahiatua just like this one and the recently permanently closed down primary school Hillcrest School on Pahiatua's Princess Street is worth the look around. Hillcrest has alot of history starting off as a high school and then a primary school till it's 2022 permanent closure. Plus the Pahiatua Maternity Hospital buildings are also worth looking around as the permanently closed down hospital has a alot of ancient history. I was actually born there in April of 1979. Pahiatua is worth the look especially the history of the town itself at the Pahiatua Museum on Sedcole Street behind the New World Pahiatua carpark and Pahiatua Mitre 10 Mega. And another recommendation is Pukaha Mount Bruce Wildlife Centre between Eketahuna and Masterton.

[@inne.kenkin]

Thank you for sharing. Initially, New Zealand may seem boring, especially for those who like the hustle and bustle. But this is the place to find calm and no pressure for excessive stress.

[@Kitten_am]

OMG I WAS IN THE VIDEO! MY FAMILY WAS THERE! we sold fruit and vegetables

I was last at my home town in 2012. I watched your video and see PNNZ has had some interesting growth for entertainment on a sunny day. That wind is still there though.

[@RubberKiwi79]

It wasnt boring growing up in Dannevirke. Once a month or so we'd take a trip to Palmy, walk around the Plaza, have Macdonalds in The Square, feed the ducks at the Esplanade, shop at Pak n save and be asleep before we got to the gorge. Better times

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.

[@timrussell9869]

Spent 3 years there at university in the 70's. Plenty of fun back then. But it has certainly changed quite a bit from what I remember about the place.

Danke 🎉we used to lived in Palmerston North loved it😍move to Sydney 24 yrs.

[@brentwithey4241]

Awesome video guys, Palmerston north is only 20 to 30 minutes frome several beaches so it's not to far to go.

[@GlenAndMado]

You’re totally right that’s what we mean it’s actually pretty close to the sea! So plenty to do haha ♥️

[@consciousEXE]

I live here, I used to go to the farmers market with my dad and sister when it was still by the cloverlea tavern, that's the only thing that I was able to enjoy without being uncomfortable and not being with friends. This town is boring from the perspective of in town things, but once you find the less populated spots it becomes a feverdream of a time and it's really fun, also if you ever come by again, go the the Son n D bakery you won't regret it, they have the best pies. But yeah this place is boring unless a building catches fire, danneverke is pretty nice even if not as populated, it's got a better vibe. Edit: 17:05 the woman in green is my mother, she works at Orphan's aid

Ha- it is funny that PN gets such a bad rap. It's not so much of a tourist town. We called the "farmers market" the "flea market"- but good value vege's etc! It was a lovely place to grow up- good schools and activities, the river (which we would swim in all summer) and nice and flat to bike around to hang out with friends 🙂 Yes to the train at the Esplanade!

It is a city and there is a lot more to it. Depends what you want out of life. Not the place if you are into clubbing but great for outdoor activities. Great cycling and only half an hour from beach or 2 hours from ski slopes.

we drove through Palmerston North last month on our way to Wellington ! maybe we should have stopped for a couple of hours en route, but didn't have enough time ! it looks ok.

[@GlenAndMado]

It’s a good spot you should definitely check it out!

[@Clayst]

I've just commented on your Oamaru video, but I'll put the info again here. You need to film at 25fpd or 50fps in New Zealand, that's why all the lights are flickering in this video. This video is in 60fps. Our lights run on a 50hz frequency, which is different to some other parts of the world. The framerate is not matching the frequency of the lights, so the flickering is being picked up.

[@GlenAndMado]

Yeah send the message! But I tried it already and it doesn’t work unfortunately. We move our camera around pretty fast so we need a fast shutter speed to compensate that 🫣

I was born in Palmy on September 10th 2008.

[@kr0k3tt]

Stumbled on your video of where I live. Nice run down of the place. It's definitely a city that caters more to the family. Great place to raise kids imo, I think those who are looking for night life and the like aren't so keen on the place as we don't have many big events. Plenty to do if you look for fun the way you two do. Interesting that the market didn't have the churro stand when you were there and usually there is a couple stalls selling some other interesting foods that are good for a morning snack. Other than that you nailed it with the general vibe of that market.

[@varna1570]

their donuts and filled cream things are pricey usually around $4.50 at most bakeries, the pies look about right $7, pricey now aye, so what would you be paying back at your home?
