How to Dial a New Zealand Number
New Zealand's country code is +64. Local numbers always start with 0 — when dialling internationally, drop that leading zero. Auckland landlines starting with 09 become +64 9. Mobile numbers starting with 021, 022, or 027 become +64 21, +64 22, or +64 27.
Type the full number into the Give a Ring dial pad starting with +64 and the app takes care of the rest. The call rate will be displayed under the dialled number.
🇳🇿 Surprising & Funny Facts About New Zealand
Sheep Outnumber People 6 to 1
New Zealand has roughly 6 sheep for every human being — about 28 million sheep for 5 million people. At its peak in the 1980s, the ratio was closer to 22 sheep per person. This makes New Zealand one of the wooliest democracies on the planet. The sheep have not yet demanded the right to vote, but give it time.
The First Country to See the New Year
New Zealand is one of the first places on Earth to welcome each New Year, thanks to its position just west of the International Date Line. Chatham Islands, a New Zealand territory, is actually the first inhabited place on the planet to tick into a new year — giving Kiwis about 13 hours of smugness over New Yorkers every January 1st.
Middle-Earth Is Real
New Zealand served as the filming location for both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. The landscape was so convincing that tourism permanently boomed — and the village of Matamata was literally transformed into a real Hobbiton that tourists visit year-round. The country's government even amended laws specifically to accommodate Peter Jackson's production.
Women Got the Vote First — Here
New Zealand was the first self-governing country in the world to grant women the right to vote, in 1893. Suffragist Kate Sheppard collected petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures. The movement was so effective that when the Electoral Act finally passed, the Governor reportedly threw his pen across the room in frustration. Progress won anyway.
No Native Land Mammals Except Bats
Before humans arrived, New Zealand had no native land mammals at all — except two species of bat. Birds evolved to fill every ecological niche normally occupied by mammals. That's why the kiwi is flightless and nocturnal, behaves like a mammal, and even has nostrils at the tip of its beak to sniff out food in the dark. Evolution here followed its own extraordinary script.
Sitting on a Geological Time Bomb
New Zealand straddles the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, which is why it has active volcanoes, geysers, earthquakes, and some of the world's most dramatic geothermal landscapes. Rotorua's geysers and boiling mud pools are not a theme park attraction — they are an actual geological fact. The whole country is essentially sitting on a very slow explosion.
🗺️ What Are the Best Places to Visit in New Zealand?
Auckland — City of Sails
New Zealand's largest city sprawls across a narrow isthmus with harbours on both sides and 53 dormant volcanic cones dotted throughout. The Sky Tower offers 360-degree views of the city and Waitemata Harbour. Auckland has more boats per capita than almost any city on Earth — hence the nickname.
Wellington — The Capital at the End of the World
Compact, hilly, and famously windy, Wellington punches well above its size for culture: Te Papa (the national museum), Cuba Street's café scene, and the world-class Weta Workshop where Middle-Earth came to life. New Zealand's Parliament, known as "The Beehive" for obvious architectural reasons, sits here.
Queenstown — Adventure Capital of the World
Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu against the jagged Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown invented the commercial bungee jump and never looked back. Skiing, skydiving, jet-boating, white-water rafting — if it gives you an adrenaline rush, someone in Queenstown sells it. The scenery alone justifies the flight.
Milford Sound — The Eighth Wonder
Rudyard Kipling called Milford Sound the eighth wonder of the world. Sheer cliff faces drop 1,200 metres straight into the fiord, waterfalls cascade year-round, and dolphins and seals are regular residents. It rains here about 182 days a year — which only makes the waterfalls more spectacular.
Rotorua — Geothermal Wonderland
Rotorua sits on one of the most geothermally active zones on the planet. Geysers shoot boiling water into the air, mud pools bubble lazily, and the entire city smells of sulphur. It is also the cultural heart of Māori New Zealand, with incredible haka performances and traditional hāngi feasts.
Abel Tasman National Park
New Zealand's smallest national park is also one of its most beautiful: golden beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and native forest accessible only by foot, kayak, or water taxi. The Abel Tasman Coast Track is one of the country's nine Great Walks and can be done in segments by anyone willing to paddle.
