I'm a Switzerland-based private helicopter pilot planning to spend some time in NZ. I'm wondering what are the rules there regarding off-airfield landing. Is it possible at all? Is the land owner approval required? Are their any altitude limitations like in Switzerland? What are the typical practices there?

I believe the relevant rules around helicopter landings are covered by CAA Part 91 section 91.127 Use of aerodromes.
You are permitted to land a helicopter off-airfield. Land owner approval is required (except in the case of emergency), just like any other use of land.
