Much of central New Zealand has been jolted awake by a noisy tremor that struck in the dead of night.
The quake, measuring magnitude 4.1, struck 15km northwest of Wellington just after 2.30am.
Geonet said the quake caused light shaking across the region.
More than 2100 people reported feeling the
quake from as far afield as Bay of Plenty and Christchurch.
