About this place Lateshift

Lateshift, Auckland's men-only cruise club, is tucked away one level below ground at 25 Dundonald Street in Eden Terrace, just a short stroll south of the K Road and Queen Street intersection. You'll find a large maze, playrooms, and private cubicles inside. There's also a darkroom, showers, a pool table, and video screens to keep things interesting. Free tea, coffee, and wifi are a nice touch. It's open from 19:00 most nights, but Mondays are an exception - doors open at 14:00. On weekends, the party runs until 02:00 or later. Don't forget to bring ID and use the lockers. Condoms and lube are usually on hand, but it's a good idea to carry your own, just in case. The website's worth checking for discount nights and themed events. On weekends, you can refuel with free breakfast.

I came here to explore because the local Centurian sauna was closed. The entrance fee was NZ$25. The clientele was diverse, including both young and old. Since it's a cruise club, it's not like a typical sauna, but it still provides restrooms for an extra NZ$1. Overall, the environment was quite nice and worth a visit.
