Why don't you interview the people on camera? They are New Zealand's greatest asset. They can tell you (and us) more about the places you are visiting.
Welcome to Hastings Curls thank you for showing Hastings in such a positive light a lot of people go shopping down karamu rd further where the wharehouse mitre 10 crackerjacks uncle bills etc are
Having lived in Taradale for 30 years....I dont think Ive really explored all the downtown streets of Hastings!!!! Thanx to ur cool video & and a wonderfully positive tour....I now will be hunting out some of those gems for myself. Really enjoyed ur tour. Keep up the gr8 work 😊
As an Aussie I look forward to getting across there any chance I get. You can’t beat a Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan from Bollywood. Something to look forward to as well!
Chuuur bol. A big reason the buildings are so gorgeous is the 1931 Earthquake. It flattened Hastings and Napier, with Napier being rebuilt in the Art Deco style and Hastings being rebuilt in the Spanish Mission style
Some of my family are in/from Hawks bay/Hastings, and I always enjoyed going over there for visits as a kid. I live on the other coast so it's like a near 4 hour drive - always fun.
I had to laugh when you walked past the old Westpak building at the clock tower and said it looks abandoned... Looks can be decieving... That building is occupied on levels 1-3😊
I grew up in hastings as a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s it's was so sodding good man🎉 and cheers night club pizza forno eml music shop Ian yarwoods barber good days.
Congrats Curls on your Maori pronunciation, you shame many kiwis. Saw your older post where you placed Christchurch New Zealand 2nd best city. We've only got better, come back for another squiz. Cheers mate.
City is pretty good. I like it. pretty laid back atmosphere. I dislike hamster wheel like environment. Enjoy and smell the flowers and take a break sometimes.
Nz is one of the last countries to be touched by man if I’m not mistaken. There’s SO much natural beauty there it gives Europe a run for it’s money - and this is coming from a kiwi who is very happily living in Europe.
Sounds like you're insecure about europe. That's the only explaination I can think of regarding why you would make such a stupid and unnesicary comment.
If I am the mayor of this city, I would create a small Hastings based for Hastings only bank/credit union to create the capital for the new businesses. Creating an economic miracle from domestic credit union like bank.
This is referring to people commenting about gangs etc I live in Napier and haven’t had my car broken into once ( that’s not to say I won’t but as yet I haven’t) and have parked numerous times in the heart of what they call the “hood”.. But then again I treat a gang member the same as I would my boss, elderly neighbours/children, anyone I know and those unknown to me etc- As an equal ! I wouldn’t say i’m known etc like i don’t live the life or associate with the gang life so I wonder if the mutual respect is returned hence why i’ve never felt scared ,intimidated or like I have to worry about my car or belongings ???- JS -Just a different view and insight
There's plenty of old, depressing shjth0les in Australia too. 😂 😂 Look at Richmond, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Camberwell, Seymour (VIC). Or Mount Druitt, Marrickville and Grafton (NSW). Even Rossarden, Queenstown and Newtown in Tasmania, etc... I could go on. But yes, Hastings needs a makeover.
Also, don't forget that you're comparing 1 little town in New Zealand to an entire country, which doesn't make any sense. There are still many other parts that are more scenic than Australia. Especially in the South Island, and further up the North Island. In fact, New Zealand as a country is nearly always voted as the most beautiful in the world.
Yeah gang, What you mean is the Mongrel Mob. Disgusting behavior. AA Insurance says premium thier is very high compared to Rotorua, makes no sense, because Rotorua is dearer than Te Puke with car 😅insurance. Hastings car insurance is very bad unnless you live in your car. Otherwise your car is a goner. Beautiful place bad luck for overnight vehicles. Hey. I been traveling the whole of New Zealand in my small car, you go on your commercial planes. You dont really know what it is really like to travel. You're doing it for ratings. I am living it.

Should've checked out Cornwall Park, the Japanese Garden and the Bird Aviary are nice. Some of my earliest memories are at Cornwall Park as a 3 year old :)

Yes I absolutely agree 👍

I think Hastings is competing with Tauranga to see who can have the most empty shops

I miss nz so very much😊
There is a province in India with U and K as initials. Uttarakhand in the Himalayas.
Nice 👍
Attractive looking town, but the lack of foot traffic does not bode well for those busineses.
Can you pls make a video about Whangarei???
They have the most astonishing Art Centre there.
Cher bro my hometown shoulda wen into that kippers there buffet n sweet sour pork is🎉
City is pretty good. I like it. pretty laid back atmosphere. I dislike hamster wheel like environment. Enjoy and smell the flowers and take a break sometimes.

Actually i'm glad to live in europe with it's old buildings all over when i see the generic city, hope you have more beauty over there.

Most towns look this dull
3:59 I can agree from experience, COSMIC is my go to shop but Shosha sells perfectly fine devices.
Shosha are scammers

The empty shops are due to the ahem ahem if you know what I mean in the last two years.
I've lived here my whole life, trust me it's a shithole.

Hastings is a very depressing town

How likely are you to be harrassed by gangsters just walking at night
