Boozing New Zealanders cause trouble, Blenheim outfits say.
A young Kiwi traveller has been turned away from a Blenheim backpackers after being told the establishment did not accept New Zealanders.
The policy is understood to have the backing of other accommodation providers in the town, who claim booze-loving New Zealanders cause trouble, intimidate other guests and are uneducated.
The local mayor says the ban is disappointing, but foreign workers are known for doing "more of a hard day's job" than Kiwis.
