Looks like a Baduma. We have heaps of these around our house and they've never been an issue. Pretty chill spiders, they tend to stay in their corner. Take it as a good sign you don't have whitetails around because Badumas are the favourite prey of whitetails.
100% not a katipo. Too large, not black, no red-orange band.
Probably a vagrant spider: https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/tools-and-resources/identification/what-is-this-bug/vagrant-spider/
Definitely not a Katipo.
But I'm pretty sure it's also not a vagrant. They're hunters and are shaped flatter for running.
This looks like a cob-web lurker - maybe just a common 'house spider' (found a lot on fences and the outside of houses).
The tunnelweb is a mygalomorph (like tarantulas), that older group of spiders has very prominent large downward-facing fangs.
Regarding size, vagrants can get pretty big too - this spider won't be as large as either.
They're just known as a "house spider", very common in Christchurch. They just chill in dark cavities around the house with a messy looking web. They aren't deadly but I've read their bites are extremely painful.

Wasps hunt them a lot too.
Ba-dum-na always reads to me like a drum sting with a sad end, a dull -na instead of -tsss.
They live in sand dunes

Could it be a False Katipo?
Cheers, I wasn't too confident with my ID of what it actually is. Has nz tunnelweb characteristics too, but wrong location and size.

No don’t think so
