The wild weather comes after a severe red wind warning was issued for the Canterbury region, with much of the South Island also under weather warnings.
Hundreds lost power, trees and lampposts were blown over, and people were asked to stay at home.
A major highway along the South Island’s West Coast also remains shut due to a slip.
State Highway 6, between Lower Buller Gorge and Punakaiki, closed overnight.
Motorists are asked to detour via the inland route of State Highway 69 and State Highway 7.
