As others have stated you will be required to obtain at least 3rd party (liability) insurance for marinas in NZ. So far we have visited only 1 marina in Australia and they also required that we have the full limit reequired for Queensland waters -- 10 million AUD for boats over 15 meters. If you clear in at Opua there is a small insurance agency located right on the wharf that is owned by a cruiser and can sell you the required insurances at a very reasonable price.
As for the WOF electrical inspection/certification, we were informed that this would be required and we agreed to pay for it -- both at Opua Marina and also at Gulf Harbour Marina. We stayed at Opua Marina for months of Nov and April -- the electrician never showed up so we never paid for this WOF. We stayed at Gulf Harbour Marina for months of Dec, Jan, Feb and March -- the electrician never showed up there either so we never paid for the WOF. The marina we are at in Australia has not mentioned anything about needing an electrical certification.
YMMV.
