Photos accompany the listing.

New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude, which suits evenings spent out. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, and bars often sit close to places serving exactly that. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Whether you come as a pair or a larger group, the bar accommodates different ways of spending the night.
