I haven't seen them in New Zealand, but CraftBrewer sells them. I have used one in the past at a beer festival, and they are awesome. Definately recommended if you have the spare dollars.

 

I would recommend the regulators that hook onto Soda Stream bottles.

Better to shell out the $50 or whatever it is for the fitting so you can use a soda stream bottle for serving. That way you could serve up to 3 kegs I believe with one gas bottle.

 

Haven't seen those chargers sold in NZ, and imagine they arent a cheap way to do it. They are so small I imagine you would only get a few pours from one charger.

 

 

Edit : Jo beat me to it, but same theme - Soda Stream bottles are the better way to go.

CraftBrewer have them, but a bit pricey at $NZ47 each http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=924

and they're currently out of stock. Local fire extinguisher company has just got in some jumbo sized aluminium bottles with a standard regulator thread on them for $99 including fill. Not sure how much they hold but it must be 4 times as much as a regular SodaStream bottle.

I can find out further details if anyone's interested.

I have one of those Darrin and they are good. Just make sure you set it up with ball valve as getting them off the regulator without loosing gas is a b*tch!
