This is actually kind of amusing, if one follows the trail you've
pointed out.

The only possible reason for putting the "current time" on a Web site
for a hotel *on the Contacts page* is because it might be useful to
those attempting to contact the hotel in NZ. And when would knowing the
time be most useful? Why, when *telephoning*, of course.

So prospective guests and visitors (of which there are doubtless a
multitude in this very NG) should feel free to telephone at a reasonable
time. Say, around 3 p.m. (15:00), just before tea. As indicated by the
site's clock, of course. :-)
