Yeah I was searching on trademe.nz for ages for a cheap hardtail; I found the increase in price of secondhand bikes in NZ was more than the cost of taking a bike on the plane, if that makes sense.
Otago Rail Trail looks good (if a little sedate), and there are loads of tiny dirt roads/4wd tracks branching off like Old Dunstan Road or Dansey's Pass, and I'm sure there are others. You can make a loop (according to the map, at least) - Middlemarch to Alexandra via the rail trail, then over the plains and back to Middlemarch on the Old Dunstan Road.
