On the North Island, there is the kiwi version of the great lakes, it's called Lake Taupo. I spent a week around there 6 years ago at the end of my study abroad term in Australia. The access on the eastern shore is really easy as there is a road and all the rivers that it crosses over draining into the lake hold lake run trout year round. Furthermore, the town of Taupo itself is an adventure sports hub (I went bungee jumping), although I stayed at a place called the Tongariro River Motel in the town of Turangi, which had nice suite style rooms for a very good price. Of course, you could also stay at a hostel in Taupo. The Tongariro is the crown jewel of the Lake Taupo tributaries. It's as big as the Salmon River in NY. Again, access is very easy. The name of the game is nymphing deep with a team of heavy nymphs. I did have a good time at one spot with a dry-dropper rig though.
-- Anyways, if you have any further questions, I'm happy to help, just send me a direct message. Good luck and safe travels!
