  Yes, you can have maids in NZ. You'll have to pay them govt. set minimum wage, like another worker. There are agencies that specialise in bringing maids from Japan, mainly nannies for the Pakehas. You will also have to observe the work hour rule not 24 hours on call like India. I remember the people at Rasoi, Auckland, telling me that their cooks were brought from India on a contract. You can contact them for details.
