Cape Reinga is often stated as the northernmost point of New Zealand, but the actual northernmost point on the North Island is Surville Cliffs which is two kilometres further north (and 30 kilometres further east).

The northernmost point including offshore islands is tiny Nugent Island, to the northeast of Raoul Island in the Kermadecs.

Slope Point in the Catlins region.
The southernmost point of the South Island is Slope Point a few 10s of km E of Invercargill. The southern most point of NZ territory (excluding the Ross Dependency) would be the Auckland Islands.
