Three pin plug (PNE), each pin rectangular in section, Earth vertical, Phase and Neutral angled at about 35 degrees... ah, heck, check this page - it says Australia, but NZ is the same.

The eight pictures at the top of the page are typical plugs and sockets.

Type I
Used in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
This plug has a grounding pin and two flat prongs forming a V-shape. Although the plug looks very similar to the one used in Israel (type H), both plugs are not compatible. Australia’s standard plug/socket system is described in SAA document AS 3112. Although there are slight differences, the Australian plug mates with the socket used in the Peoples Republic of China (mainland China).

Also may see standard European round plugs as well, especially in older buildings.
