Police say no significant issues or incidents were reported to them at any of the main New Year's Eve events or celebrations around New Zealand.
Police are generally pleased with behaviour at celebrations across the country, they said.
Officers largely dealt with minor disorder incidents, liquor ban breaches and intoxication and arrests that were made were mostly related to alcohol and disorder incidents.
Large crowds at the Rhythm and Vines music festival in Gisborne were generally well behaved, with great cooperation between agencies and event organisers, police said.
No arrests were made at Rhythm and Vines for the New Year period, though four arrests were made in the Gisborne area for disorderly offending.
Across the Coromandel Peninsula, issues were minimal and less than previous years, with a handful of arrests made for disorderly behaviour offending, police said.
In Whangamata about 1000 revellers gathered to see in the New Year.
And no major problems were reported at celebrations in Mt Maunganui despite large crowds.
Celebrations in Nelson Bays progressed well with most revellers being well-behaved, police reported.
Trafalgar Street was the main attraction in Nelson where several thousand turned out to enjoy music and festivities in good spirits.
There were a small number whose actions resulted in arrests, with a total of 18 arrests in Nelson for drunk and disorderly-type offending, police said.
About 1500 people gathered in Christchurch's Hagley Park, with no arrests made and crowds were also well-behaved in Akaroa, Hanmer Springs, Twizel and Timaru, police said.
In Auckland, both the Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge were lit up, and the annual midnight fireworks display from the Sky Tower delighted onlookers.
