South Island runs on a temperate climate with seasons opposite to the northern hemisphere, so December to February brings the warmest weather and June to August the coolest. New Zealand cooking leans on lamb, dairy and seafood, with green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish featuring on menus. Ferries serve Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
