Central New Zealand was rattled this morning by a magnitude 4.6 quake, GeoNet reports.
Residents in the Wellington region, and the top of the South Island, were woken by the quake, which struck at 3:22am this morning.
The quake was centred in the Cook Strait, approximately 30km southwest of Wellington, at a depth of 17km.
It comes at a time when the city is on edge following the strong quake two weeks ago.
