Wellington tap water is treated to meet New Zealand standards and is safe to drink — bring a refillable bottle and ask for tap water in cafes/restaurants. If you have a very sensitive stomach, you may prefer bottled or filtered water.

Christchurch tap water is treated to New Zealand standards and is safe to drink; bring a reusable bottle to refill and reduce plastic waste.
