There's not much that's 'local' in terms of geographics. The closest you'll get is probably Auckland where there are plenty of places that provide web hosting. I can't think of any that I would personally recommend however.
However if you're willing to use a server out of the country. www.rimuhosting.com is a Cambridge (local) based company that offers virtual servers and is well known within the LUG. I personally use one of there servers and can vouch for their reliability and customer service. The one downside is their hard disk sizing is quite a bit smaller than many of the other VPS providers that they compete with.
Having just re-read your email, I'm thinking perhaps a VPS is slightly more than you're after... There is a company called Interspeed who offer hosting based in Waikato Innovation Park, but I can't offer any comment on their service.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
I have been using MyHost for a number of years and have found their service to be fairly good.

My work use InterSpeed for our virtual servers. We haven't had problems with them and they've been responsive to all our queries. Luckily the servers aren't hosted in Innovation Park, as the internet access here is unreliable. The servers themselves are under the CenterPlace building iirc.
Since i'm currently contracted out to their parent company and working in their office, i may be biased though. ;)
