All of New Zealand has earthquakes. Have a look for a map of NZ earthquakes 1990 - 99 on the gns.cri.nz website.
Shallow earthquakes are spread indifferently throughout NZ. And these are the ones of most importance to buildings etc.
Deep earthquakes have a different distribution, and are more closely associated with the descending Pacific Plate. The shallow earthquakes reflect the strains generated by the plate movement and the subsequent redistribution of strains.

Additionally, New Zealand has several active volcanoes, particularly in the North Island, such as Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe. This geological setting makes both earthquakes and volcanism a regular aspect of New Zealand's natural environment.
