The state of volcanic hazard in New Zealand is shown, on a scale of 1 - 5, in the website Geonet.org.nz.
The biggest volcanic hazard (averaged over a few thousand years) is Taupo. And more broadly, the Taupo Volcanic Zone in general. Taupo has erupted about 27 times in the last 26 000 years, and the last significant eruption was about AD120.
As a matter of record, the H2S gas at the Rotorua geothermal area has killed a few folk in the last decade, and unwary footsteps in the geyser field have taken another few.
