    Fun Fact. The Pub you mentioned in Greytown (Gastro Pub known as The White Swan) was moved to to Greytown from Lower Hutt in 6 pieces over the Remutaka hill in 2002 and was extensively remodelled and opened in 2003

    So glad you stopped and featured beautiful Greytown. Others have mentioned Oamaru 3 hours drive south of Christchurch. We were amazed at the Victorian precinct at Oamaru and like an open-air museum street. Also Sumpter Wharf has over 1,000 cormorants/shags on the road to the Blue Penguin Colony. Guys Oamaru is well worth a visit as probably the smallest quirky town in NZ!

      Oamaru is great small town. Only thing I can suggest is don't go on and Monday or Tuesday as most of Victorian precinct will be closed. A Friday or Saturday is normally the best time to visit. Also check out Scott's brewery, craftworx brewery, the sunday farmers market and the steam punk HQ

    A lot of the historic buildings in Masterton were effectively destroyed in the 1942 earthquake, which is why a lot of it looks so boxy and industrial on the main drag. a couple of blocks over from the main road is much more scenic.

    If you're through Featherston again, there's a little museum there for the special mountain-climbing trains called the 'Fell Locomotive Museum' that has one of the 1880's locomotives that used to climb over the mountains between Featherston and Hutt valley before the tunnel was opened in 1955.

    We have Victorian-era towns like Greytown too here in Victoria, Australia for example Ballarat, Bendigo, Daylesford, Castlemaine, Kyneton, Beechworth and Portland. However most towns look like Masterton, they usually have a history of farming as opposed to gold mining, gold mining was where all the money was.

    Featherstone is gradually getting more tidier, but business owner's still not fixing their buildings up, which is a shame. Cold and very windy in winter! Greytown is usually very busy but another Martinborough. The White Swan isn't original! It was trucked there and completely don up. It actually fell off the moving truck on the way there! Or at least one half as it was shifted in several pieces.
