For a visitor, New Zealand's islands have a temperate climate, with summer from December to February being the most popular season and winter staying mild at low altitudes. Food in New Zealand is built around fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, so an ice cream stop can sit comfortably beside those traditions. Travellers reach the islands by domestic flights and ferries, while English and Māori are the main languages. Penguino Ice Cream Cafe fits into that landscape as a café where a scoop of ice cream can accompany a pause on Montgomery Square.
