Visitors rate Five Larries Books 4.9 out of 5 from 16 reviews, a strong score for a bookshop. First-time visitors should expect a small, focused shop rather than a large chain store, with three photos of the premises. The wider island includes Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so a visit to Lawrence can be planned around either extreme. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.

Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. A stop at Five Larries Books fits a day in Otago between Dunedin and Queenstown.
