Re: How Long to Drive?
I've done it in 2.5 hrs with one coffee stop. That's going via Katikati/Waihi/Paeroa/Ngatea. I'd allow longer if you don't know the road. You also have the option of going via State Highway 29, over the Kaimais (hills) and through Matamata (less coffee/toilet stops available this way). OH says this is an easier drive (better roads) but not much difference timewise.

It`s between 2-3 hrs but chill out and take as long as you want and enjoy the views .

Also depends on the time of day, don't do it any time near the infamous AKL rush hours.
