South Island has a temperate climate, and summer from December to February draws the most visitors, while winters at low altitudes stay mild. Food in New Zealand leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, which shapes what many restaurants around the country put on their menus. Domestic flights and ferries link the islands for onward travel, and English and Māori are the main languages spoken. Christchurch works well as a base for exploring the wider South Island.
