while you're around the central north island, make sure you do some black-water caving. fucking awesome.

also, ask advice on times to drive places as the major highways are still only one lane either way in places with some major traffic issues.
when we were there last we drove past a dead motorcyclist just before they shut the highway down and cars behind us were stuck fir 3 hours. it effectively shut down all traffic from rotorua to auckland.
it's not always bad traffic but when you look on a map you kind of feel that the distance is tiny (especially after living in australia for 15 years) and think that the drive will be a lot less than it actually is.
if possibly while around rotorua, take a look at the blue and green lakes (great areas) but ignore the maori buried village - absolute tourist rip-job (unsurprisingly - almost made me laugh at how we'd been ripped and i used to spend holidays with family in rotorua so shold have known better).
you'll have a fucking awesome time!
