New Zealand Police had been negotiating with the man overnight and confirmed that the stand-off was over on Thursday morning.
The gunman was suspected of shooting four police officers during a drug operation.
New Zealand's police commissioner Mike Bush had only just landed in Australia on Wednesday when he was briefed on the incident, and he return back overnight.
A no-fly zone was in place around the rural property where a sole shooter was surrounded by police.
Four police officers were shot on Wednesday in an effort to arrest a person taking shots at a police aircraft.
A large-scale operation took place at the property in Otakiri, about 70km from Rotorua.
The New Zealand Defence Force was sent a tactical lift helicopter and three light armoured vehicles to assist police.
Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement told reporters on Wednesday evening the stand-off started in the morning when shots were fired at a police aircraft on a cannabis operation.
Police closed in on the offender's property, but by 4pm three officers had been shot.
Two of the officers were taken to Whakatane Hospital in a stable condition, and a third is in Rotorua Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
A fourth officer was later shot in the hand, and has received medical treatment.
All officers were male, but Mr Clement would not confirm ages or the details of injuries.
