Pleasant for a drink but great experience if you can fit in a tasting style night. Costly, $150 approx but the experience is brilliant from the food, drink to education you get during it all. A smorgasbord!

It's a good bar which does food and has live music with dancing. Great fun, especially if the local dancing people are about- watch or join in!

Essentials

A NZ run supermarket which is compact but has diverse range of supplies from local small producers. Often very competitive pricing to their counterparts, so don't ignore.
