Little Robyn's advice is good - that's a good site. Rest assured that a) there are Catters here - me for one - and b) there's tons of live music going on - some of it very good indeed.

Plus you have the usual NZ advantages of scenery, sun, sea, sheep, and lots of luvverly people (not necessarily in that order....). Come along, it's only a plane ride and you won't want to go home, believe me, I know!

Who you meet will depend on where you end up. If you want to come to Wellington area, let me know via PM and I'll try, as a relative newcomer to let you know what's going on.
