What can I say? This is a truly remarkable landmark, and I was awestruck when I saw it. The whole tourist experience was exceptional. As we pulled up in the car park, we could not believe how big it was. It was only as we walked towards it, we realised it was actually even bigger.
It was only when we got right up close and personal with the bottle, that we realised how big it actually was - at least 6 times bigger than an actual bottle (at least!).
It is clearly 'off the beaten track' as we were the only tourists there - a true hidden gem!
What's more is that there was no admission fee, which made for a nice change considering a lot of the tourist activities in New Zealand are rather expensive.
Only downside is that you can't actually drink any of the L&P, but there are plenty of places in New Zealand where you can actually do this.
Look out for the lemon shaped bin, often missed by those who are not as hawk eyed as my friends and I.
Don't 'bottle' it on your New Zealand trip by missing out on this treat.
this is the small town where the famous "L&P" soda was invented - lovely little town with many neighbouring attractions
So this was the starting point of our big things tour of the North Island last week. It is a must see if you want to see what small town NZ does to promote itself.
Its s stupid bottle. So what.
They havent mand L&P in Paeroa for over 40 years. Pull it down.
I was there so just get rid of it. Its a joke.
World famous in New Zealand... L&P is a drink that I have fallen in love with.
Passing through the town of Paeroa, it's a must stop location for a quick photo.
It's a giant bottle of L&P... that is all.
L&P was new to us as this was our first trip to New Zealand. I'm glad we stopped as it does indeed have a place in the cultural history of the country and if you are into "giant things" as I am this is another one to add to your list.
This history about how it came to be is interesting and someone was kind enough to post a photo of the explanatory sign here on TripAdvisor.
I found L&P itself to be vile so just buy a small bottle to try it out. You might like it if you like really sweet drinks.
