What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?

Pretty much anything and everything is available: theater, movies, restaurants, karaoke, wineries, lots of outdoor activities. It's not too hard to meet people through EFM jobs, kids' schools, Meet-up groups for just about any interest, etc. - Jun 2019


There's a lot to do. Sites like http://www.eventfinder.co.nz list a lot of attractions and activities. - Feb 2015


There are many activities to go out to and people also entertain at home. Traveling during public holidays and summer is common and it may seem all your friends are gone every three-day weekend. - Apr 2012

You've got 3 types of bars. 1. RSA (Returned Services Administration) This is primarily for ex-vets, but if you pay the dues...you can join. Almost as exciting as the VFWs back home.2. Bars for the 18-25 age set. They're okay, if you are in the right age group. Mostly really fast dancing while on Ecstasy or P, while drinking. - Mar 2010
