Gay Accommodation and Lesbian Accommodation (Rainbow)
New Zealanders tend to be a very tolerant race and a traditionally laid-back approach permeates all areas of life. Hence, New Zealanders are generally quite accepting of gays and lesbians and 'alternate lifestyles'.
By international standards, the pink and rainbow scene in New Zealand is small, however, especially outside Auckland, although other larger cities and centres may host one or two gay and lesbian pubs and clubs.
Pubs and clubs aside, New Zealand's gay and lesbian tourism industry has flourished over the years and now forms a cohesive network of gay and lesbian friendly accommodation and other gay and lesbian friendly tourism services.
Gay and lesbian-owned accommodation, in particular, often offers its gay guests a warm welcome, privacy and seclusion, plus tasteful décor. Your hosts can also offer some great recommendations on where to go, how to get there and what to see in New Zealand.
