New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency said there is no tsunami threat and no significant damage reported.
Another earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 also hit the country 20 minutes after the 6.3 tremor.
The quake comes a day after the country declared a national state of emergency due to widespread flooding and damage from Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle.
Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, were without power due to destructive winds from the storm, including the entire city of Napier.
