September is not the best month to visit New Zealand. The weather in Tauranga, Nelson, Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton, Rotorua and Wellington is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun travel but rather nature excursions, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists during this period.

It's much worse in Queenstown, Hokitika, Dunedin and Invercargill and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is not advisable to go to these areas in september.
