First-time visitors should note that the weekend hours differ from weekdays, so a Saturday trip needs to finish before 16:00. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. New Zealand's temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters largely free of snow at low altitude, which suits a walk around Akaroa's waterfront. Hāngī, cooked in an earth oven, and pavlova are both part of the country's food culture.
