Usually, when you go the toilet, it’s because… well… you need to go! However, Hibiscus Coast author Jo Knox’s book Kiwias Toilets is a compilation of convenient conveniences in New Zealand that deserve to be visited – even if you don’t need to go! This quirky coffee-table book-cum-travel-guide takes the reader on a tiki tour of New Zealand’s top toilets. From toilets that celebrate their region’s heritage and scenery or showcase art and architecture, to the downright wonderfully weird WCs and fun facilities, this eclectic collection of toilets celebrates everything that’s Kiwi-as.
Photographs and facts about each featuring toilet are interspersed with splashes of toilet humour and toilet euphemisms, making the book an informative yet light-hearted read. While some toilets are in major tourist destinations, many, like the Jailhouse toilets in OngaOnga, Hawkes Bay (definitely one where you should take a ‘cell-fie’!), are in lesser-known locations. A number of local loos feature, too, including Orewa’s artistic Western Reserve public toilets and Stanmore Bay Park and Reserve public toilets. This tiki tour of New Zealand’s top toilet stops will have you making pitstop detours from better-travelled routes and add a touch of quirkiness, humour and surprise to your photo collection and memories of New Zealand.
This book is ideal for road-trippers, the ‘Captain Slackbladders’ amongst us, people looking for a unique coffee-table book (or book to read on the toilet!), or those seeking that uniquely different gift! Kiwi-as Toilets ($29.99 RRP) is available from all good book stores, or can be ordered directly from kiwiastoilets.co.nz.
