Celebrate the end of 2025 with us at Otehei Bay’s annual New Year’s Eve party!
Set on beautiful Urupukapuka Island, Otehei Bay offers the perfect family-friendly atmosphere to unwind, enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, listen to live music, and soak in the final sunset of the year.
Catatonic Duo will set the tone for a relaxed afternoon of celebration as we begin the countdown to midnight. Then, as the evening sets in, DJ Duo Ceekay & Tangerine Candyfloss will take over—bringing the energy and getting everyone singing and dancing their way into 2026!
Ease into the evening with Catatonic, a talented duo featuring Nick Scott (guitar, loops, vocals) and Cat Logan (vocals).
Their set moves effortlessly through genres from the 70s to today — think Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Alanis Morissette, The Black Keys, and more.
Nick’s cruisy guitar style weaves melody and rhythm together, perfectly harmonising with Cat’s soulful vocals to create the ideal soundtrack for your evening.
