1st trip to New Zealand

Thinking of planning a trip to New Zealand - North Island. Will be travelling from Australia, have no idea what places to visit. Planning on staying for a week. Maybe can hire a car. Husband is a car fanatic, so should enjoy driving. Can anyone suggest an itinerary or places which a must to see.
Thanks in advance.

Why North Island? With just a week, South Island would be my pick.

Definitely rent a car so you have the freedom to stop when you like.

If you're set on the North Island, you can read my trip report from 2004 here - http://www.fodors.com/community/aust...april-2004.cfm Some of the information will be a little dated, but all the places we visited are still there.

The North Island is fantastic and quite diverse you can see most of it in a week. We love the North Island.
