Introducing Otorohanga
One of several nondescript North Island towns to adopt a gimmick (we’re looking at you Tirau, Paeroa, Katikati, Bulls and Hobbiton, sorry, Matamata), Otorohanga (Oto to his mates) has a main street lined with cherished icons of Kiwiana. You’ll learn about sheep, gumboots, jandals, No 8 wire, All Blacks, the beloved Buzzy Bee children’s toy and – bravely risking fisticuffs with the Australian Country Women’s Association – the pavlova (a creamy meringue dessert). Gimmicks aside, the Kiwi House is well worth a visit.
