This is Havelock.

 Population about 600 (people)

A town where someone puts fresh flowers in the public toilets

A town where you can stand in the middle of the main street at rush hour.

Self styled Greenshell Mussel capital of the world, there is a lot of mussel themed decor... engraved into the concrete sidewalks...

Adorning various buildings...

....including the police station....

Nice to think even the police have a sense of humour (or are invested in local identity).

Real greeshell mussels for sale in the grocery shop

This town has two pubs

...and one grocery store....

(Priorities.🤔)

....a museum (every town in NZ has one of those - most are devoted to 'Early Settlers')...

...and a variey of dwellings from early settlers to architectural modern

I'll leave you with a couple more shots from the main street, the Town Hall and the fishing tackle shop
