Meanwhile, Wellington is the warmest place to be, sitting at a respectable 11C, followed by Stewart Island at 10C.
Rotorua also hit the negative temperatures at -1C, while people in Taupō, Christchurch and Napier are hopping out of bed to a cool 2C.
Kaitāia, Whangārei and New Plymouth are at 6C.
It's slightly warmer further up the country, with Auckland sitting at 4C.
"We've had this pulse of cold air, Bakker said.
