Bill's Bar and Bistro
About
The restaurant Bill's Bar and Bistro in South Island sits at 1 Halswell Road, Hoon Hay, Christchurch 8025, Nueva Zelanda. The address places it in the Hoon Hay suburb of Christchurch, on the island's eastern side.
The venue is a bar and bistro, serving the kind of cooking that suits both a quick drink and a longer sitting. Two photographs accompany the listing.

Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. 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. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.
