Northland · Te Tai Tokerau
Northland, Te Tai Tokerau, takes in the Kaipara and Far North districts and is home to about 201,100 people (Stats NZ estimate, June 2025). The regional seat is Whangārei, and beyond it the region has many smaller towns and settlements. That makes a little planning worthwhile when you send flowers here, especially to rural addresses.

Auckland · Tāmaki Makaurau
The Auckland region, Tāmaki Makaurau, is New Zealand's largest by population, with about 1,816,000 people (Stats NZ estimate, June 2025), and is run by a single unitary council. It runs from Wellsford in the north, the northernmost major settlement in the region, to Pukekohe and Waiuku in the south, and out to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.
