Spent 6 months over there a few years ago. Roads not too bad at all, avoid the logging areas ( small roads big trucks ). The Coromandel peninsular SE of Auckland is my tip as well as the Top of the South as they say. Think I've got a book about cycling routes etc. somewhere. Will dig out all my old stuff and p.m you with anything pertinent.
