Mondayised public holidays
End-of-year holiday shutdown
Respect for Tapu and Rāhui restrictions
New Zealanders are generally warm but value personal space; use 'please' and 'thank you' frequently. Respect Māori culture by not touching heads, not eating in meeting houses (wharenui), and honoring Tapu (sacred) or Rāhui (temporary bans). Dress 'smart casual' unless a specific code is provided, and be mindful that public behavior can quickly become national news due to the country's small size.

About this holiday

New Zealand observes various national, regional, and religious holidays. Public holidays are often 'Mondayised' if they fall on a weekend. The country also experiences a widespread end-of-year shutdown from late December to late January.
