There are many lakes in New Zealand! Here are the lakes according to Wikipedia in the North island of New Zealand.
The North Island.
In 1840 the Islands of New Zealand were referred to as New Ulster (the North Island), New Munster (the South Island, also called the Middle Island then) and New Leinster (Stewart Island). In 1846 the name New Leinster was abandoned and Stewart Island was considered to be part of New Munster. These names only lasted until 1852 when New Zealand was further divided into a number of smaller provinces with more locally meaningful names.
