Or the following for a list of the stratum 2 time servers, http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html
! NTP in NewZealand
Have a look at http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/research/reports/TechReps/1999/tr_9901.pdf for a scientific study (from 1999) of the topology of the country's main ntp servers. (A bit dated as GPS is much more widely available now).

+! NZ Pool
+There is a pool of nz servers at nz.pool.ntp.org, which provides round robin DNS access to publicly accessible NTP servers that have agreed to be part of the pool.
!Stratum 1 NTP servers
+
+The Measurements Standards Laboratory at Industrial Reasearch Limited run a HP5071A caesium atomic clock which is part of the New Zealand time standard. This server is available at the address msltime.irl.cri.nz, more details [here|http://msl.irl.cri.nz/services/time/ntpServer.html].
Clear generously provides a stratum 1 NTP server for public use:
# bigben.clix.net.nz
However, you really shouldn't synchronise to a stratum one server for your small network - if everyone did that then the the server would probably need too much bandwidth. Please read http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2001-October/003705.html. The difference in accuracy between syncing to a stratum 1 server and a lower stratum server is negligible!
