Brian Noel Martin, 64, entered the plea in the Rotorua District Court today.
He was remanded on bail to reappear on March 25.
His bail conditions include a 9pm to 7am curfew.
His lawyer, Andy Schulze, indicated Martin was about to move out of Rotorua.
It's alleged Martin's offending happened in Amohia St on December 6.
