A desert is sometimes defined as an area with a rainfall of less than 500mm a year, therefore New Zealand does not have any significant areas of true desert. Some small areas of inland Otago and Canterbury in the South Island do have this low an annual rainfall, but only just.
Some reasons for the misconception that New Zealand has desert is the name for one of the State highways in the central North Island being the Desert Road and there is a region known as the Rangipo desert. It has a much higher rainfall than a desert, but has high winds and poor soils, so seems like a desert.
