They were Sean William Wright, 50, from Kerikeri and Ian Desmond Bullen, 54, from Awarua.
Officers were called to an Awarua farm on Monday morning, where the bodies were found near a milking shed.
Companies Office documents say the Spencers - one of New Zealand's richest families - own the property.
They provided a statement to RNZ via their lawyers, saying the Spencers' deepest sympathies are with the families and friends affected by the deaths.
Police said they were investigating the deaths on behalf of the coroner.
