Om New Zealand Pubs
In 1894 New Zealand had 1,719 licensed premises serving a population of well under one million. Most of the old hotels have long gone, either burnt down or demolished. This book is a guide to the 175 of the best historic pubs left today. The criteria for New Zealand Pubs was simple; a pub had to be built as a pub before 1967 (the end of six o'clock closing) and still be operating as a pub today, it also had to offer something to the modern traveller in terms of atmosphere, food or accommodation. Award winning author, Peter Janssen, travelled the country and did extensive research to put together this selection of pubs, that are not a great place to have a drink, but are cornerstones of their communities, playing a part in the history of New Zealand. Beautifully photographed and extensively researched, this is a must have for the intrepid travellers wanting more than just a drink.
