Gay Guide New Zealand
New Zealand has a thriving gay scene, particularly in the largest city, Auckland. Bathhouses remain as popular as ever in most major centres and on many nights of the week are busier than the bars/clubs. Regulated by the health authorities, they are required to offer clean, well maintained facilities and promote safer sex through the provision of condoms, lube and safer sex education information. The three major cities in New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch) have at least one bathhouse and are generally open seven days a week from around 12 noon until late, although many operate 24 hours, particularly over the weekend.
