The small country town of Bulls is easily covered on foot. Take a walk and read all the quirky signs, browse the shops and enjoy a meal at one of the cafes or take away (take out).

Dutch Windnill on a Delft Pottery Plate

The Windmill Cafe has a gift shop and Deli specializing in Dutch foods and gift items. The selection of imported Dutch food was amazing, including assorted Dutch Bakery items, Dutch Herring and famous Dutch cheeses, like Edam and Gouda. The gift shop had lots of Delft pottery and other popular imported Dutch gift items and souvenirs.

Favorite Dish: Fresh brewed black tea and a Dutch Pastry.

Subway in Bulls

Choose your own fillings in nice crusty bread, this can be as fattening, filling and as healthy as you want it to be. It is also very satisfying, good value for money and nice food to eat while travelling.

Shopping  

Scully's Lavender Gift Shop: Encred-a-BULL Shop with Lovely Lavender Products

cnango 155 reviews

I love quality lavender scented items and Scully's Lavender gift shop in Bulls was a great find. The shop carries a wide variety of lavender bath , body and home products. My favorite is the Scullys Gardener's Hand Cream with Lavender oil and Vitamin E. The shop also carries products scented with Green Tea, Olive Orange & Oatmeal, Rose and Little Scullywags with Apricot and Chamomile oils. But my favorite is still the namesake and what the Scully family has been most known for since 1992, their wonderful New Zealand Lavender products.

Driving in NZ

Favorite thing: Bulls is located near the junction of SH 1 & SH 3 a few miles north of Palmerston North or Palmy as the locals say. The drive takes you through lots scenic rural countryside, Green hills and sheep grazing in fields is a common and lovely site to see. An added plus,the road is 2 lanes and does not have much traffic.

New Zealand Speed Limit Sign

Favorite thing: This sign is just an ordinary speed limit sign seen all over New Zealand not just in Bulls. But it looks like a BULLS-eye.lol In NZ they go by 'Kilometers' not 'miles' per hour like in the USA.
