Hello crappers!
When you need to go-a, look no further than Waimangaroa! At the bottom of the grim Denniston hill stands Waimangaroa; a small mining and milling town.* Fondly known as Waimang, it is a small settlement that is a bit past its heyday but still a great stop if you need the bog or a coffee or you simply want to look at a cute little rural market.
Waimangaroa's loo is in the same place as most of Waimangaroa; just to the left after you've turned off to head up to Denniston. It's immediately recognizable and charming not only because of the great big "toilets" sign but also for the funny little wooden man out the front who tells you that there is indeed free bike parking in Waimangaroa.
Waimangaroa's toilets are gendered so, as always I will be reporting on the ladies'. They're nothing flashy but functional and very tidy. Once again, a shout out to those kind souls that take it upon themselves to clean the middle-of-the-wop-wops loos and seem to take a lot of pride in that. They were clean and smelt fresh; well-ventilated so there was no lingering odours. There was a single accessible stall and it possessed a flushing toilet. I would describe Waimagaroa's toilets as rustic; matte concrete floors, minimalist and practical. Perhaps best of all was the fact that Waimangaroa provides you with both soap and a sink!!!!! That's not something we see often!
Overall, I left Waimangaroa content that I had had a pleasing toilet experience. Cheers to you, Waimang! To all the rest of you...
Happy crapping!
