Not all the DC providers will allow you to put gear in their racks unless all the servers are fully managed.
I know Vocus/Maxnet run a DC in Christchurch which anyone can put gear into without needing a fully managed contract. (Yes I work for them and have deployed a number of systems for DR there )
But as mentioned there are a few options when you look outside of wellington.
Zeon: I know Orcon don't provide colo from Avalon. The ones I think of are Xtreme Networks who i think are somewhere near parliament. I also know Unleash can provide colo space somewhere in that vicinity (its AT&T or at least AT&T are in there from memory).
Your best bet is actually Christchurch for DR stuff - heaps of options down there.
Try The Colocation Company (http://www.thecoloco.co.nz/) - Durham Street, Sydenham, Christchurch. I believe the Christchurch City Council hosts there.

Do they do part rack hosting?
Also interested to see how people find their cost structure, charging by power consumption?
