Hi mallow,

It's likely that ships still made direct voyages to New Zealand then, but most likely they called at other ports on the way to collect or disembark other passengers.

There are lists of ships arriving at the various NZ ports for 1899-1900, I think, but there would most likely be a couple of hundred vessels for each port.

Thanks Riley do I look on NZ sites for arrivals rather than departures from England?
