🦉 Fat Owl Motel, Bar & Eatery|A cozy spot in a small town in New Zealand

📍 Location Fat Owl is located in the small town of Dannevirke in the central North Island. It is a complex space that integrates motels, restaurants and pubs, and local social venues. It is worth stopping for a meal or staying overnight when passing by this area. ⸻ 🚗 Transportation It takes about 1 hour to drive from Palmerston North and about 2 hours from Napier. It is located on the main road and has convenient transportation. It is an ideal relay station for people who drive long distances. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the old wooden tables and retro posters in the store. There was a relaxed atmosphere like walking into a friend's backyard. The restaurant is not large, but the interaction between guests is very warm. Even the aunt at the next table will chat with you. For the meal, I ordered their signature burgers and fish and chips, which are very New Zealand local pubs. Simple, large portions, and just right with beer. Especially the fried fish, the skin is so crispy that it falls apart when you bite it, and it is super delicious with tartar sauce. If you choose to stay for one night, the hotel room is clean and simple, a bit like the upgraded backpacker inn style, with everything you need, and the bed is also quite comfortable. You can go downstairs directly for breakfast in the morning, and it feels like staying at a relative's house in the countryside. #7月好去处2025
