Your best bet, especially for 4 seats is looking via SYD and booking a separate flight across the Tasman.

There is more availability to SYD and may be easier to get.

Yeah, this is what I ended up doing for a trip next year. For what it is worth, the AE rep I spoke to said than ANZ releases a few of the non-stop YVR-AKL seats much closer (she thought 90 days) to departure if you want to roll the dice. But your odds of getting four seats are close to zero.
