Visitors planning to spend summer in New Zealand will find there is no shortage of exciting, fun-filled events around the country that will help fill a long, sunny summer’s day.

You’ll be all good when you arrive in New Zealand. You’ll meet some hard case Kiwi bro’s around and about the wops and maybe you’ll even be invited down to the bach for a mean feed, maybe a hangi and some pavlova. Most blokes are pretty choice, but if you’re knackered and they invite you to crash at their joint, it’s a good idea to suss it out first. Tu Meke! Make sure you wear your stubbies and jandals though or I reckon you could feel a bit out of place with your new mates. If you’re too skint to hook yourself up with the goods, just chill, she’ll be right eh.

Christmas is a time we normally enjoy alongside friends and loved ones, so it can be tough spending the festive season overseas. But Christmas is a relaxed, fun-filled occasion in New Zealand, and there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to enter into the celebrations.
