English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand, and rugby union is followed closely, with the national team playing in black.
Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Visitors heading for the lake should plan around the daily opening hours, since the bar runs from midday until late.
