I'm just back home after a road trip relocating a nice Toyota Highlander SUV from Wellington to Auckland. My first aeronautical stop was at Paraparaumu Airport:

After the family was scattered from Tauranga Cessna A152 ZK-KID2 has been on-line with the Kapiti Districts Aero Club since 10/11/16.
As Paraparaumu is a domestic airport, there are security fences so you can't poke into hangars that you might like to, but I was granted access to the Aero Club hangar where several club and club members planes were parked.

Cessna 182T ZK-JLR2 is registered to Pelorus Air of Blenhiem and is ex VH-JSQ. It has only been registered here since 23/8/17. I was told that it frequently flies to D'Urville Island.
