English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea.

Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. For a visitor to Owaka, the café's split hours mean a midday stop or an evening meal, with Friday and Saturday extending to 20:30.
