Police say revellers were, overall, well behaved around the country as we welcomed in a new year overnight.
Deputy Commissioner Glenn Dunbier said New Year's Eve was "calm across the motu" and that, by and large, New Zealanders rang in 2022 safely.
"There were of course a couple of hotspots around the motu, however most people we saw out and about had a good time and stayed safe."
Despite that, 15 people were arrested in Whangamatā and 114 infringement notices were issued in the area.
