Great Date Ideas in New Zealand

"If you've been with your loved one for some time, you'll know a great date night out is all about putting the pizazz and passion back into the relationship and that's why Coco's Cantina in Auckland is a true gem. A night out amidst the bon vivant atmosphere of this super-chilled yet fabulously cool cutie-pie on K'Rd is a surefire way to put spring back into the step of any long-term relationship. Plus the excellent food and wine that will inevitably flow all evening makes for the ideal accompaniment to being in perfect company."

"Known as doing some of the best sweet treats in the West, Huia Beach Store & Cafe is a gorgeous little hidden gem and its food has as much personality as its staff. A really cool idea for a Sunday date is to head down the winding roads and into Huia, stopping at this store to pick up baked goods and hearty sandwiches, before embarking on a walk up Mt Donald McLean. If you haven't yet had the chance to do this trail, it is little work for great reward. In just half an hour you'll reach the summit and be rewarded with incredible panoramic views of Auckland City, the southern Waitakere Ranges and the Manukau Harbour. Fresh air and the smells, sights and sounds of New Zealand's native flora and fauna plus excellent local food is a great recipe for the ultimate date day out. Now that's amore!"
