Sunday hours not on file

6 other places have no confirmed Sunday hours. Check with them directly — their pages have phone numbers and links where they publish them.

Public holidays

None of the hours on this site are public-holiday hours. On New Zealand public holidays many businesses close, open shorter hours or add a surcharge, and some close for a few days over Christmas and New Year. We don't guess: phone ahead, or check the venue's own page or social media on the day.

Lists on this page are sorted by time, distance or name, as each says — never by preference. Hours change, especially around holidays and the seasons: confirm anything important with the venue. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
