Another option is travel via the art deco cities of Napier and Hastings in the Hawkes bay. Other highly recommended destinations include the East cape (allow 2-3 days) and Te Urewera National Park and lake Waikaremoana.If you are travelling from Wellington to Auckland, simply follow the suggested itineraries in reverse.
