I highly recommend a trip to Rotorua to see the geothermal park and the Maori live show http://www.tepuia.com/index.

Like I said it's about a 3.5-4 hour drive but along the way you could stop into Temple View to see the NZ temple. here are the GPS coordinates for Google maps -37.826091,175.22393
As far as attractions in Auckland
- A harbour cruise to Devonport and a walk around the Devonport Village is a nice relaxing trip. It's right there next to your hotel (ferry ride that is)
- A Harbour cruise to Waiheke Island is a lot of fun a good way to see rural island life in NZ and the Kiwi version of the hippie's :-)
- Sky tower is good to get a view of the city from high up (tallest building with viewing deck) as is a drive up One Tree Hill, a famous inner city mountain
- The Viaduct. Once again right on your hotel so plenty of eateries around here.
- Mission Bay for a walk along the beach and new zealand ice cream
- Auckland Museum in Auckland Domain. Personally one of my favourites and they have a maori show that's worth seeing. A good way to get a feel for Kiwi Culture http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/
In my books a must visit. - Piha is a west coast beach which is a 40 minute drive from your place and that will show you the rough and rugged west coast and a cool little surfer village
- Spookers. I've not done this but I hear it is really good. http://www.aucklandnz.com/
