5/13 - Catch the earliest AKL-ZQN flight
5/13-5/24 - Explore the western coast of the South Island
OK. Sounds OK. IT will take more time to drive to places than you think.
Mt Maunganui has a little more to offer than Tauranga.
(Note people who live in Mt Maunganui get offended if you imply they live in Txxxx )

The coastal region is interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Plenty

Also be aware the date convention is this part of the world is dd/mm. 5/10 is 5th October.
