I have very closely followed a facebook group, New Zealand Travel Tips. If you are not a member of this group, I highly recommend it. I got so much help there with planning and many folks get help from the group while they are traveling in NZ. You can also get discounts on many activities through the group.

Can’t say I’ve come across a travel group like it

Are you on FB? There’s a great group called New Zealand Travel Tips (NZTT). Heaps of good advice that will probably get you further along [than on Reddit] :)
