Almost wanted to uproot and go and live there. We stayed in a caravan park and in the early mornings I'd cross the road and do a walk in the golf course- wonder if it was the same one (pretty near the gorge)? Rotorua was also really interesting, but a bit on the nose sulfur-wise. My daughter did the Taupo bungee. I now own a 2001 convertible, only had it up to around 150 kmh. Not sure I'd want to drive it on NZ roads with the scuttle-shake! We had a campervan, that was hairy in some cases.
