Fun, packed and a good old school DJ type scene. Sometimes entry line is a bit long, but only bc an international DJ would be on set...Just ask the door man Cess* (probably the biggest guys in New Zealand!

The only bar/restaurant I know in town to get a strong night cab drink 24/7.
Andy's Burgers & Bar

Entertainment & Activities

Classy Casino and hotel open 24/7 for a late night strong drink or bite to eat and "Andy's Burgers." I suggest going straight to "Andy's Burgers" first for a drink, especially after 12am as the main bar is super choosy on who they serve if you already had a few.

-Fun night out or even a great scenic walk atop the tower outside the building! They harness you up to walk around the out side of the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. -You can also jump of the top with a descending wire apparatus to the base of the building taking in the full view of the city before you get your heart racing!

Sightseeing

-Hope on the fairy down the street to get to the wine country tourist spot with many other amazing* scenic AirBnB locations to stay after a wine tour/tasting -Fairy ends most nights at 11pm* -I suggest renting the bikes or Vespa's to get around.

-Modest hiking location for a day venture! "Roughly 700 years ago Rangitoto modestly appeared out of the water in a mass of lava equivalent to just over 450,000 Olympic swimming pools. Once everything had quite literally cooled down, the volcanic island was named ‘Rangitoto’ which pleasantly translates into ‘The day the blood of Tamakekapua was shed’, relating to a Maori battle at Islington Bay (on the island) in 1350." - NOMADSWORLD.com

Iconic beach with a great collection of shops and restaurants, try De Fontein & The Addic (both have great balcony views). Rent a kayak, paddle board or bike to also hope over one bay to Saint Heliers Bay. Beautiful view of Rangitoto (Historic Maori Land, 1 of 2 live Volcano's in NZ). The ice cream shop, "Movenpick," sells more ice creams annually then any other in the world!

My favorite beach in NZ with a beautiful hike up the Mount with stunning sites! A neat little town with a strip of restaurants and bars that is unlike any other. It's one of the surf renowned spots in the world which nearly got the best of me once; still one of the greatest days of my life (once I caught a wave)!
