New Zealand is made up of the North Island, the South Island and, further to the south, the much smaller Stewart Island (Rakiura).
The third most populated island in New Zealand is Waiheke in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland.
The Maori name for the North Island is Te Ika A Maui (the fish of Maui) while the South island is Te Wai Pounamu (The place of Greenstone) or Te Waka A Maui (the canoe of Maui). In addition there is Stewart Island to the far south, and dozens more smaller islands, some of which are inhabited. They include the Antipodes Islands, Auckland Islands, Bounty Islands, Campbell Island, Chatham Islands, and Kermadec Islands.

∙ 10y agoThe main part of New Zealand is made up of the three main islands, North, South and Stewart, but in addition, there are the Kermadec Islands, and the Chatham Islands.
Also, there is a legal entity known as The Realm of New Zealand which encompasses the Cook Islands, Nuie Island, the Tokelau Islands, and the Ross Dependency, as well as the lands commonly considered above.
Even in New Zealand proper there are many additional smaller islands, and that is also true of several of the island and dependency groups listed.
So the actual number of islands that comprise New Zealand is a quite large number. Probably in the low hundreds.
