Outside the Square
The Stuff That Doesn't Fit Anywhere Else
NZ has a good streak of weird in it, and this category is where that lands. From Baldwin Street in Dunedin - the world's steepest street, genuinely worth the detour - to the Lost Gypsy Gallery tucked away in Papatowai down in the Catlins, some of the best experiences in NZ refuse to sit in a tidy box. Blair's place in Papatowai especially. Inventions, tinkering, delightful nonsense. You'll leave grinning.
Promo code RANKERS - good deal done!
Worth the Detour
Up in the Nelson region, the Takaka Hill Via Ferrata is doing something genuinely different - self-guided, and the gear hire from Ngarua Caves is absurdly good value, possibly the best value activity in the country right now. Rotorua has its own brand of silliness, from rolling down a hill in a giant ball to the Skyline Luge - use the promo code RANKERS on outside-the-square activities in Rotorua to knock a bit off. Same deal in Wellington and Auckland if you're hitting something a bit different in those cities.
Pick What Fits Your Weird
My honest take: the best of this category rewards a bit of curiosity. Puzzling World in Wanaka has been quietly getting better for decades. Curling in Central Otago is low-key good times for any age. The RANKERS promo code also works on outside-the-square experiences in Auckland if you want to stretch the fun further.
