The four main centres are (from north to south, and also in decreasing order of population): Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

As an aside, some speak of NZ as having five main centres. Many years ago, some regarded Invercargill as the fifth main centre, but Invercargill has for some time been declining in relative population and importance. At present, the fifth main centre is Hamilton, which has a larger population than Dunedin, but for a long time lost out to nearby Auckland in terms of regional importance.

Hope that helps someone (even if the original questioner has moved on).
