Off the top of my head, there is the central North Island group of three, Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngaruahoe. Just off the coast in the Bay of Plenty are White Island, and Mayor Island. White island is continuously active. Taranaki in the North Island last erupted about 800 years ago I believe. And in the Rotorua region, there was a dreadful volcanic eruption in the 1800s.
There are no active or recently active volcanoes in the South Island, but many extinct ones. And in the Ross Territory of Antarctica is that continent's only active volcano, Mt Erebus.

Lots depends on how you define a volcano, if you include sea mounts (Volcanoes under the ocean) as well as dormant and extinct ones then the number is quite high. If your just looking at active or at least semi active volcanoes e.g erupted last 1000 years then there are about 18(including Sea mounts). In Auckland alone there are 49 volcanoes some of these are dormant (Rangitoto) while others are extinct. All up theres about 114 volcanoes in NZ however some of these are millions of years old (some older than 16 million years old)
