The Duke of Marlborough, Russell
Picturesque Russell is full of history and beautiful scenery and is the perfect get-away for a summer celebration.

Situated in the heart of Auckland City’s viaduct harbour, this is an excellent spot to sit and enjoy some of Simon Gault’s inspired dishes. With fireworks kicking off from the Sky Tower at midnight, you will be right in amongst the action here.

Kai Restaurant, Kaiteriteri
If you happen to find yourself at the top of the South Island for New Year’s Eve, we hear Kaiteriteri knows how to throw a party.

As the only tram restaurant in New Zealand, this is a novel and unique way to enjoy New Year’s Eve.

On offer is a four-course set menu including a glass of bubbles in the luxury of the 36-seater air-conditioned colonial style dining tram.
Prime Restaurant & Bar, Queenstown
Take a seat in what must be one of the most prime spots in Queenstown overlooking Lake Wakatipu. Enjoy Prime’s specially designed New Year’s Eve menu while taking in the panoramic lake and mountain views. Plan for a late booking and you can relax and enjoy your lakeside table for the whole evening where you will have a front row seat for the fireworks at midnight.
