HOW GOOD IS THIS!!! 🤩🙌

I love hearing this!

Every day in the shop, I chat with people visiting Waimate - some discovering our town for the very first time, others returning after years away.

And do you know what? They’re genuinely surprised and delighted by what Waimate has to offer these days!

The secret is getting out!! People are loving their visits, discovering all the wonderful things happening here, and plenty are even asking me about what it’s like to MOVE here!

How exciting is that?!

There’s so much to love about our little town, and it’s fabulous to see people noticing, exploring and spreading the word - huge congratulations to Kate at District Life - so good 👌

Waimate, we’ve got a lot to shout about!

Now, if you’re visiting, make sure you pop in and say hello at The Quirky Magpie - because a town visit is always better with a little bit of quirky! 😉
