Hi manda and welcome to the forum.
The people on here are very helpful if you need answers or a bit of advise.
My sister Emily lives in NZ in Waikai. Her husband Grant is born and bred kiwi, he is also a Maori.
From what I have seen it is a beautiful place. Unfortunately haven't been able to afford to visit yet but can't wait until I can.
