On the way home from Masterton, we stopped at Greytown to have lunch in one of the many lovely restaurants. Greytown was first settled in 1854 and although quite small now it's a very popular weekend and tourist destination with antique stores, restaurants and boutiques. This is the town where the first Arbor Day planting happened in New Zealand in 1890 and just by walking down the main street you find these cute cottages.
The locals are obviously very proud of their little town as there are lots of flowering plants and beautifully kept parks and gardens. I had a laugh when I saw this sign outside the local hotel. I'm sure many husbands would enjoy staying at the Husband Creche!
Cute sign. Looks like a lovely community to stop by and shop.
