Hi Joanne,

Sonos is sold in New Zealand through our local distributor, Playback Systems.
Can someone please let me know if Sonos One would work in NZ?

The Sonos One itself will work fine as a Sonos speaker - the Alexa part won't until Amazon enables Alexa in New Zealand and Sonos enables. I believe Amazon is supposed to launch in New Zealand here early 2018.

Until Alexa launches the Sonos One will act exactly like a Sonos Play:1
Just because Alexa is launched by Amazon does not mean Sonos One will work right away. There is an additional step that Sonos needs to take, and as of now it is taking them months to do so. But voice control is a small part of the Sonos story, that is available globally even now, particularly where music services like Apple Music/Google Play Music/Spotify and the like are available.
