Island roundup: Aotea Great Barrier Island

From Summer Weekends, 11:45 am on 17 January 2026

We're taking a virtual tour of some of New Zealand's outer islands on Summer Weekends. First up is Aotea Great Barrier Island, where Susana meets Orla Cumisky. She's the owner of the local Irish pub. They discuss remote life, the thriving music scene, and what her pub is a global first in.
