The addressing system in New Zealand is also some especial "I have seen things" and I never worked on it but my colleagues said that Tokyo was also "you should pull up a chair"

NZ is exceedingly plain so I don't get that comment. Most are of the form 1337 Great North Road Pt. Chevalier Auckland 1002

You could even omit Auckland as it's implied by the simple 1000-series postcode.

The property boom may have led to subdivisions making a 1337/2 necessary but the vast majority of buildings outside of metro areas are detached, single family properties.
