New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand, useful after a day outdoors. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Queenstown, Dunedin, Blenheim, Te Anau and Kaikoura sit further afield for travellers linking this stop with the rest of South Island.
