Yes your electrical goods will be OK over in NZ as the voltage and frequency is OK. As you say the plugs will need changing. TVs are a little different for the transmission I believe (I'm still looking at that - anyone with some advice would be gratefully received!), but if you have a playstation or DVD (multi-regioned to be able to play R4 NZ as well) then it might be worth taking along depending how you are shipping things over.
Cheers,
Dave

we're taking our tv / dvd/video player but just for the kids to watch their videos / DVD's etc - there have been a number of threads on here explaining about the transmission difficulties - too complicated for me so haven't remembered them but if you did a search you'll find the info.

There is a thread on page 13 entitled "Advise request re- electrical goods" which might be useful.
I tried to post the link but when I checked it, it came up as something else entirely!! Doh!
