"I spend a lot of time at the ASB Sports Stadium — I play a lot of basketball. It's huge. There’s six courts and anytime during the day there’s a whole court just for me. It is one of my regulars at the moment."

Lyall Bay

"Lyall Bay is the biggest beach on the South Coast, stretching about two kilometers, and you look out over the Cook Strait towards the South Island. The beach is very popular, the most popular surfing spot in Wellington and perfect weather for kiteboarding."

Maranui Cafe

"Maranui Cafe, in Lyall Bay, is one of the best cafés in Wellington. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle went to Maranui. They do great fish and chips. I usually get the Big Bay breakfast or the eggs benny."

Harbourside Market

Produce market
Corner Barnett and, Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Harbourside Market

"I’d probably take friends to the Wellington Markets [Harbourside Market] that happen on Sunday — it’s one of my favorite spots. It’s a fruit and vegetable market with amazing food stalls. It's down by the waterfront, so you get a view of the harbor."

Museum
55 Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

"Right next to the markets is Te Papa, Wellington's museum. It’s a little bit more than a museum, it's interactive, and they pride themselves on how interactive it is. It’s a massive building right on the waterfront — you can't miss it."

Fidel's Cafe

Cafe
234 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Fidel's Cafe

"Fidel's is probably the most iconic café in Wellington, and that's at the very end of Cuba Street. Havana coffee in Fidel’s at Cuba Street — that's the ultimate Wellington experience. Their hash browns are also the best you're going to have in your life — not even in New Zealand, but in the world. I'm telling you."

"The venue I go to the most is on Cuba Street, and is called the San Francisco Bathhouse [San Fran]. We've played there many times. It’s changed owners and names four or five times, but it’s the same San Francisco Bathhouse."
