About the Random NZ Address Generator
New Zealand addresses follow a tidy pattern: a street number, a street name, then a suburb, town or city and a four digit postcode. This generator reproduces that shape using 64 street names taken from actual New Zealand roads, including te reo names such as Kowhai Street and Piwakawaka Way, and 62 suburb or town entries with their correct postcode.
The geography spans Auckland suburbs from Devonport to Papakura, Wellington and the Hutt Valley, the main Christchurch suburbs, and towns from Kerikeri in the north to Invercargill in the south. Numbers run from 1 to 320, which matches the range you see on most New Zealand residential streets. Because the pieces are drawn independently, a Dunedin street can pair with a Tauranga postcode, so treat the output as sample data rather than a real location.
It suits filling a staging database, testing whether an address form copes with names such as Donostia or Whanganui, and building demo screens that do not look like they were typed by a developer in a hurry.

Common questions
- Are the postcodes valid?
- The postcodes and the places they are attached to are genuine, but the street and the postcode are paired at random, so the full address is not deliverable.
- Which regions appear?
- Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and around forty other towns from Whangarei down to Invercargill.
- Why is there no unit or flat number?
- The output stays with the common single dwelling format. You can add a flat prefix such as 2/ in your editor if a test needs it.
- Is any of this sent to a server?
- No. Both word lists ship with the page and the addresses are assembled in the browser.
